Citadel Broadcasting Corp. has confirmed one of the worst kept secrets in radio: Imus is returning to the air.
On December 3rd, Don Imus will make his triumphant return to the airwaves on New York's WABC-AM, only nine months after being booted for the "nappy headed hos" comment that got him fired.
Imus will return with longtime newsman Charles McCord, and other members of his morning team. It's still unknown whether Bernard McGuirk, the producer who was fired along with Imus, will return though.
The prospect of Imus' return, which has been rumored about for months now, had outraged groups like the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Organization for Women - who said the return of Imus is nearly as insulting as the comments that originally drove him off the air.

Whats gonna happen with Curtis Sliwa?
I'll miss his thick Brooklyn accent.
I wish this racist old bastard would retire then promptly DIE.... Die-man!
Farid Suleman gets what he wants.
He should invite a group of black prostitutes to be his first guests
Curtis and Kuby have a successful show that has more listeners than Imus in NYC. sucks to be them
Coming soon in these comments: How Howard/O&A are better then Howard/O&A.
Glad to see Imus gets another gig, but it won't be the same without the TV side.
Comment poster #2...let me guess...you are apart of "Al Sharpton's or Jessie Jackson's coalition?" You one of his rainbows?
Why are all these jungle women mad about his return?
...and his first scheduled guest is Dog the Bounty Hunter.
great..just another dj to beat 0.0..shit if whoopi beats them, then imus's crusty old ass will have no prob
im amazed people still tune into testicle radio anymore,wait!judging by 0.0's monumentel ratings and dropped stations,apparently no one does
BAWOOSH!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know what you are all carrying on about. Imus told me himself, he loves niggers.
Wow Dave you certainly called it 12 hours before it happened. One of the Zombies was right there to fulfill your request.
"I wish this racist old bastard would retire then promptly DIE.... Die-man!"

Players nappy headed hoes is sure a racist....go get him boss....fucking retards.
dave's prediction has not come true, it mentioned nothing about howard stern, just how imus is going to beat OA
:P
He never should have been canned in the first place- he's no racist, and never was, even for uttering those words. This was the only place on radio with comedy (that worked) intelligence, good music, and at least some political appearance that weren't staged.
Good to have ya back, dude. And you're a good and decent man no matter what any blowhard at Rutgers says
LEAVE IMUS ALONE!!!!!!
It's so ironic that he was ever taken off the air in the first place. We are all too sensitive to idle comments. Let's see you kill 4-5 hours a day with menaingless banter and offend no one.
Fuck al sharpton! leave imus alone niggers!
