Joyner's Dallas-based syndicated morning show airs on nearly 100 stations nationwide, and he is the first African-American to be elected into the Radio Hall of Fame. Joyner has been called the "Fly Jock" and the "Hardest Working Man in Radio." His urban program treats listeners to an on-air team that reports and comments on the latest news of interest to the audience. Also featured are drop-in celebrity guests, an in-house band, on-site remotes and an audience-tested urban play list. Weaving it all together is his upbeat energy and humorous insights.

Joyner, a four-time Billboard magazine award winner, began his radio career immediately after graduating from Tuskegee University. A native of Tuskegee, Ala., Joyner made headlines in the 1980s after working at various stations in Memphis, St. Louis, Dallas and Chicago. In the mid-1980s he accepted the simultaneous positions of morning drive man of KKDA-FM in Dallas and afternoon drive talent at WGCI-FM in Chicago. His daily round trip commute between Dallas and Chicago earned him national publicity and high ratings.
