- The microphone has been passed, “in a race too close to call”. Reach Media’s nationally syndicated radio personality Tom Joyner today named Jeff Johnson and Stephanie Robinson as the new tag-team Commentators.
“I am honored to be part of the TJMS family. This is truly a bridge building opportunity as Stephanie and I bring a gender balance to commentary,” Jeff Johnson said. “This is also a great moment in time to bring those younger listeners, who make me what I am, into the family as well,” he stated.
“I am delighted to join the TJMS team, and to share the microphone with Jeff Johnson,” Stephanie Robinson said. “Together, we will provide commentaries of the quality and kind that I hope will inspire, educate, and empower.”
TJMS “a party with a purpose” began the two month on-air search featuring up and coming leaders in the African American academic, news and entertainment community after the ever popular contributor, Tavis Smiley announced early this year his plans to leave the program after 12 years.
Over 8 million listeners in 115 markets judged the winners in various categories including style, delivery and the ability to inform and engage listeners. Johnson will provide his commentary on Tuesday and Robinson on Thursday at 8:10am ET, starting on Tuesday, September 16.
