Reach Media’s syndicated morning man Tom Joyner has begun a search to fill the role of commentator on the show, currently held by Tavis Smiley…and he’s doing it in a way that lifts up and spotlights up and coming leaders in news, entertainment and academics in the African-American community. For eight consecutive weeks a different personality will present his or her commentary during the Tom Joyner Morning Show. At the end of the two month search, one will permanently fill in for Smiley who announced earlier this year plans to leave the program to concentrate on other projects. As always Tom is using his tremendous “reach” to help edify young broadcasters who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
