Tom Joyner founder of Reach Media Inc., the Tom Joyner Foundation, Black America Web.com, and host of the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show”, is one of the most influential, inspirational, and dynamic personalities in the country.

When it comes to entertaining, enlightening and educating, no one in talk radio compares to Michael Baisden. His high-octane energy and love for interacting with his listeners is just one reason for the popularity and success of The Michael Baisden Show. As one of today’s most provocation personalities, Michael drives discussion with explosive episodic themes like: Living Your Dream, Your Body Is Your Temple, and Pimps In The Pulpit. His radio career began in 2003 when 98.7 KISS FM in New York City offered him a position as the afternoon drive-time host. Because of budget constraints the station was unable to offer him a salary. Michael’s response was, “Just give me the damned mic!” And sure enough, within six months, their afternoon drive ratings went from number 9 to number 1. After eight months of consistent high ratings, Michael suggested taking his show national but management was apprehensive, suggesting that New York wasn’t ready. “There was no doubt in my mind that I could have one of the hottest shows on radio! I knew the impact it would have on people all across the country and I wasn’t taking no, for an answer,” Michael rebutted.
