What You Need To Know

What You Need To Know is a daily weekday news briefing hosted by veteran broadcaster Sybil Wilkes, longtime co-host of the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Every episode cuts through the noise to deliver the stories that actually matter to Black America and the broader world, from breaking political headlines to social justice developments to cultural moments you cannot afford to miss. Sybil brings decades of journalism experience and a trusted voice that audiences have relied on for years. The format is tight and purposeful: no filler, no spin, just the news you need to start your day informed and ready. Whether you are commuting, working out, or getting the family out the door, each episode fits into your morning without demanding your entire attention. Listeners return daily because Sybil does not just report the news, she contextualizes it for communities that are often underrepresented or misrepresented in mainstream coverage.
