It’s been a little over four months since Don Imus lost his radio and television shows thanks to some incredibly stupid remarks about the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. Now, it looks like he’s settled his threatened lawsuit against CBS, and on the verge of a comeback:
Are you ready for Don Imus, the Sequel?
In case you’ve forgotten, the cranky radio talk show host — who is extremely intelligent and not always smart — was fired in the spring because of his racially supercharged characterization of the Rutgers women’s basketball team.
Yesterday, in the same breath, two new developments were reported: Imus had settled his multimillion-dollar dispute with CBS Radio and, according to several news organizations, was angling for a way to get back on the air — perhaps via WABC-AM in New York.
At press time, there had been no announcement of a new show, but the settlement frees him to pursue such possibilities.
According to some reports, the settlement was in the several-if-not more millions of dollars range. And, quite honestly, Don Imus would be a perfect fit for what WABC has turned into.

[...] Then he sued CBS Radio and, apparently, settled for quite a nice chunk of change [...]

I am very pleased Don Imus is coming back to the radio. I only hope we in the northern part of IN will be able to get his broadcast. Please keep me informed.
Thanks,
