An Imus Comeback in the Offing? Yup.
Don Imus has reached a settlement with CBS over his multimillion-dollar contract and is negotiating to resume his broadcasting career.
The settlement pre-empts the dismissed radio personality’s threatened $120 million breach-of-contract lawsuit at a time when he is taking steps to make a comeback with WABC-AM, the flagship station in the once huge network of radio stations that carried his talk show until he was dismissed after creating an uproar over his racist and sexist comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team.

Can’t wait until the I-Man gets back in the saddle…hopefully at Sirius [because I have a subscription already]…anyway I’ve been listening to Don since the WNBC days and, for me, nothing can even come close for entertainment value. I’m old enough to remember the critics of cable who said ‘nobody will pay for TV’…well, they were wrong and the same will happen to satellite radio. Imus needs a way to reach fans all over the U.S. who want to hear his commentary free from the restrictions of the politically correct broadcast media who try to be everything to everyone. Go Don!
