Sybil Wilkes

News anchor Sybil Wilkes offers a different side to issue of the day. Each weekday morning on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Wilkes reports the news in a way that fits the perspective of the primarily African-American audience.

This native Chicagoan began her radio career in 1985 as a production assistant with WKQX-FM, Chicago. She eventually went on to news management and reporting jobs at WINK-FM/AM, Fort Myers, Fla.; WRCC-FM, Cape Coral, Fla.; and WCKZ-FM, Charlotte, N.C.

In 1989, Wilkes joined WGCI-FM/AM, Chicago as a talk show host. In 1990, she became a reporter for Chicago's Shadow Traffic Network. While with Shadow, Wilkes delivered morning and afternoon drive traffic updates and worked as one of Tom Joyner's WGCI-FM sidekicks.
