I'd be surprised if Tom Joyner ends up on Power 92. The only reason I say this is because of the format on Power 92, and the music format that's on The Tom Joyner Morning Show.
Also, unless the local show has done worse for Power 92 ratings wise than when they carried Doug Banks, then this might be a smart move for them. We just have to wait & see. I'm aware that he has a new show in the afternoon drive on V-103, as his original morning show was cancelled.

If not Power 92 then what other station could TJ end up on?

Soul 1063 maybe .... But Trey on Power 92 was talking about the whole TJMS thing on his show...Which was weird because its a competeing station....
He'll be on the air somewhere in Chicago.

Are we sure the reason is Clear channel?
Tom Joyner is going to Soul 106.3.

Do you know when?
Crazy Howard was dropped from WGCI was because Premier Networks, owned by Clear Channel was promoting Steve Harvey syndication for Urban/Urban AC stations.
When WGCI got a new PD, she was directed by the CC highers to put Steve Harvey on WGCI. The same time, folks were amazed that Tom Joyner was renwed for V103. Move to today.... the worst morning show to be featured on a Mainstream Urban station and worst morning drive ratings ever for WGCI , finally found its correctly-formatted station [V103], again a force move by CC.
TJMS is NOT a Clear Channel program, therefore it was only time that he was dropped from V103, no matter how much HISTORY he has with the city of Chicago, its still a business and CC wanted their OWN on their station.
This was a beef between Clear Channel and Radio One [who aquired the syndication rights to TJMS] a few years ago.
TJMS was being aired on many CC stations across the country for years, and Radio one nearly STOLE the show from CC in one big SWOOP. CC ended up bringing Steve Harvey in, to replace the vacancies left by TJMS going to Radio One's competing stations.
Of course there is no Radio One in Chicago. Clear Channel just wanted THEIR Steve Harvey on THEIR CC station V103.
But it opens a great opportunity for to attract alienated listeners from the TJMS to switch to WSRB 106.3.
And seeing that WSRB has not had a morning show for a few months, it will fit just perfectly. Unfortunately, the downfall is the west/north/northwest suburbs have a horrible reverb due to WSRB/WYRB not simulcasting perfectly. It makes a echo mess when both signals bump into each other.
WSRB/WYRB need to get their simlucast timing perfect. Then it would work out better for the folks out west to be able to listen to 106.3.

Phil Rosenthal in the Tribune says that Joyner's return to the Chicago airwaves is in the works, but not yet certain.

Not a problem in places north and north-northwest; we get no signal on 106.3 at all! They really need to find a way to get a viable signal across the market. The WYRB signal is so far out west that it's not a player anywhere east of Elgin. If only there was some way to sneak it about 15 or 20 miles east.....
You're right we get nothing on 106.3 up north.

There was a station on I think 106.1 that soul was trying to buy When they 1st got on air....That station refused...
Then the problem remains.
Tom Joyner will officially be starting this morning, Wednesday the 22nd, on Soul 106.3. The interesting thing about
the arrangement is that Tom will be paying for the airtime. He is brokering the morning show(5AM-9AM).
Damixah3, I know at one time when Crawford put "The Groove" on 102.3, they wanted to either buy or rent the
102.3 in Waukegan, 102.3 WXLC. They wanted to do this to set up a similar situation to the former 92.7 or 103.1,
or what they are doing with the two 106.3 frequency's(too bad WYRB is to far west to really impact the Chicago
area too well), which was the same station on two different stick's to reach the majority of the area. The owner
of WXLC, Nextmedia would not go along with the deal. WSRB in Lansing doubled their power two or three years
back, from 2,000 watts to 4,100 hundred watts to try to alleviate the problem up north. The real problem with
their signal up north is the fact that 106.7 is broadcasting 50,000 watts from a tower in Arlington Heights, there
is just no way to compete with that with 4,100 watts. That is why the signal is especially bad in the NW suburban
area.
I remember that 106 Jamz used to do quite well in the ratings, despite being only 2,000 watts. The big difference
from back then and today was that if 106.3's signal was fading we had the option of listening on 950AM, which
could be picked up reasonably well past the Illinois border. It is to bad that that simulcast doesn't still exist with
the addition of Tom Joyner, it would make listening up north possible.

Right now if you want to hear Joyner up north your best bet is the internet.
