His current talk show, Game Time React, airs on over 190 stations and is also available on XM Satellite Radio. Many famous athletes make guest appearances on the show, including football legend Jim Brown. Brown is a personal friend of Tournour, and appears on the show once a week.
Perhaps some of Tournour's success comes from the attitude that he brings into his shows. "The theme of my show is always to connect with the fans," he said.
In addition to hosting his shows, Tournour has also been able to attend several of sports' most prestigious events. "I went from a small school in Geneseo, now I'm traveling to the biggest sporting events in the world," he noted.
Communication department chair Dr. Joseph Bulsys is glad to see Tournour's success as a graduate of the department. "I'm pleased to hear that an alumnus of our department, who focused on broadcasting courses, has become a successful sports personality in a major media market," he said.
Current DK fraternity members are also proud of Tournour's accomplishments. "JT was a deep brother, and his leadership as president of the fraternity and the way he conducted himself as a brother is very reflective of his current success," said Blaine Gallson, DK's vice president. "JT is a prime example of how successful our alumni have become after leaving Delta Kappa Tau."
Tournour still maintains that his experiences at Geneseo have helped him achieve success in broadcasting as well as in life itself. "Being president of DK and playing rugby molded me on top of my schoolwork. It teaches you how to grow up and be a man."
