      | Don Imus returns to radio Dec. 3  Don Imus will return to the airwaves Dec. 3 after eight months of a well-paid hiatus brought about by a racist and sexist remark that once seemed certain to permanently silence his broadcasting career. Citadel Broadcasting Corp. made the announcement Thursday, confirming long-rumored reports that Imus was coming back to morning drive time on New York-based WABC-AM. The cantankerous Imus was fired April 12 by CBS Radio amid a firestorm of controversy over his “nappy-headed hos” remark about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team “We are ecstatic to bring Don Imus back to morning radio,” said WABC radio President and General Manager Steve Borneman. “Don’s unique brand of humor, knowledge of the issues and ability to attract big-name guests is unparalleled. He is rested, fired up and ready to do great radio.” Imus will return with his longtime newsman, Charles McCord, and other members of his morning team, Citadel said in announcing the move. It did not specifically mention Bernard McGuirk, the producer who instigated Imus on the Rutgers comment and was fired as well. No financial details were made public in the four-paragraph announcement of Imus’ return. Imus’ attorney, Martin Garbus, confirmed the deal, but did not elaborate on the details. There was also no word on syndication or any TV deal for the Imus show. His “Imus In the Morning” program aired on more than 70 stations and the MSNBC cable network. (MSNBC is a joint venture between Microsoft and NBC Universal.) Show replaced Imus will replace the morning team of Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby on the Citadel Broadcasting-owned station. The pair had hosted the WABC drive-time show for nearly eight years, and Kuby said he was told Thursday afternoon not to show up for work on Friday. “I’ve had a fantastic, great run,” Kuby said. “Our show has enjoyed the best audience — intelligent, compassionate, decent and kind. The new owners don’t want that kind of show.” Las Vegas-based Citadel bought WABC and other ABC radio stations from Walt Disney Co. last year. | ||||

It's never existed and never will, the day Barney the dinosaur calls the children on his show a bunch of cum guzzling some kid who is 20 and lives with and off his parents in ABQ, NM, jacks it all day with his fleshlight, and goes by the name pube on an internet forums and gets away with it I'll accept freedom of speech as being in existence. 'Til then I'll be a supporter of people like Don Imus, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and Michael Richards. EDIT: I don't support racism, just anyone willing to speak their mind. | ||||
