The TJMS crew is coming to Pensacola next week in celebration of the classic soul station’s 10-year anniversary and as part of the first Back on the Blocks Festival in Historic Belmont-DeVilliers. “This is such an experience that will take us to another level,” said Linda Moorer, the program director known on-air as “Sonshine.” “To bring his whole crew, and to do his show from our studio, is amazing.” Joyner earned the nickname “The Fly Jock,” and “The Hardest Working Man in Radio” by working long hours and flying between his morning job in Dallas and afternoon job in Chicago for years before syndication. It’s now the nation’s No. 1 syndicated urban morning show, airing in more than 105 markets and reaching nearly 8 million listeners. The Morning Show, including Joyner, Sybil Wilkes and J. Anthony Brown, will arrive Tuesday for a meet-and-greet at Portofino from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The trio will broadcast live Wednesday from Magic 106.1 studio, before heading at noon to Five Sisters restaurant in Belmont-DeVilliers to serve lunch and take part in the block festival. Moorer said the station had been trying for a while to get TJMS in Pensacola. They had settled on a date but a change in schedule coincided with next week’s festival, she said. The Back on the Blocks Festival celebrates the soul of Pensacola with an array of music, art, dance, books and film fest.

And Joyner won’t leave Pensacola with only memories. Escambia County Commissioner Lumon May will present a proclamation. Joyner also will get a surprise gift. Moorer said Joyner often talks about how much he loves singer Aretha Franklin. He’ll be presented with a portrait of the “Queen of Soul” drawn by local artists. Joyner’s visit is an added bonus that worked out perfectly for the festival, as well as for his longtime fans, who rarely miss his upbeat, entertaining morning show. “He has stations all over the country,” Moorer said. “We are ecstatic that he is coming to Pensacola.”
