    I'm glad Tom & Michael are off the air in Philly. Syndicated shows don't have the same community interest or impact. The late Georgie Woods was on the fore front of civil rights & he introduced many Black recording artists to the audience. Sonny Hopson was always active in the community. Baisden's show centered around Black relationships that sometimes was sexual in nature (not good when you have children in the car). Joyner was just plain buffoonery & Harvey is worst.

    Mr. Joyner doesn’t recognize the inconsistencies that Ms. Carnell so eloquently highlights because he views himself in the same light as our POTUS, a black leader, and therefore, by his apparent definition, more important. He’s about the business of organizing “common” blacks to support “chosen” blacks at all costs, even their prosperity, then promoting they pretend this isn’t the case. These sit down, shut up unless I need support campaigns are disturbingly manipulative and destructive.

    Usually I'd agree but it's clear our media is being shutdown due to the elections. We should always speak out because we have a right to our own media, besides rush Limbaugh can stay on??

    In recent years I felt that radio conglomerates depended far too heavily on syndicated radio programs/hosts in Black radio. That being said, people are quick to forget that Joyner, Baisden, Balentine, and Harvey did promote a national dialog on various issues such as Obama's historic election and Trayvon's murder. Keep this in mind... Roland Martin and Soledad O'Brien (and you can debate their overall effectiveness) were also silenced... Is the goal to silence voices of substance?

    There are Black talk radio stations that are doing just that, right now even before Tom & Michael were on the airwaves. I attended a benefit for a Black college that helps children that was not promoted by Joyner or Baisden. It was promoted by the local radio host, Patty Jackson.

    That's true about Michael, but I want to know what's happening in my community. And local radio hosts kept us informed about upcoming lectures, local politics, neighborhood schools, jobs that were hiring. Plus, look how many jobs were lost due to syndication radio? Now that Baisden is off the air, I'm getting more local info about where I live again.

    A year ago here in NYC, we lost our station, 98.7 KISS FM that had both The Tom Joyner Morning Show, as well as Michael Baisden's. Even today on one of New York's last Black Radio Stations 107.5 WBLS FM this was James Mtume's last broadcast on the Sunday Morning Show "Open Line" which usually airs 10AM to 12PM and I just found out that next week the show will air 8AM to 9AM. This is a conspiracy!

    Well, without Tom Joyner and Michael Baisden African American are not addressed over the radio airways. No collective efforts will ever be organized whenever there is injustice in our community. Who else will raise money to send our children to school at HBCUs....other than TOM JOYNER?!

    I Agree with you but I have to be honest Michael Bisden did stand up more then the other two Jena six, Travon Martin he did speak up on Racism more I have to be real out of the two Michael Bisden stood up and did the right thing Tom Joyner is a sellout and a Buffoon I do not know about Steve Harvey but Tom Joyner is sad I wish their would have taken Tom Joyner off the air and left Michael Baisden alone
