Imus would never sign with Sirius, he has stated as such already. He hates Stern and he love Opie and Anthony just watch his show; he plugs Opie and Anthony a lot.
imus has a seperate deal from MSNBC , his show was not broadcast on XM instead they replayed their early morning news . i think imus would prefer XM , being that his boys are there and that CBS already as relations with XM .
I read on another web site that supposedly,Microsoft wants to get out of the news business,and out of this partnership, and this was probably the start of things.
I didn't think Imus was rebroadcast on MSNBC. The few times that I have bothered to check, I've just heard a rerun of the news show that airs before Imus

I heard this on a XM promo last week and figured since no one watches MSNBC, who listenes to it either? I also wonder what CNBC's status is too?

IMUS will be Signed by Sirius.
how great would that be.

This looks like a business decision to help XM get to CFBE.
They can always re-sign MSNBC in 2007/8 if needed.

Hugh Panero quit their board too. Something about XM going down the tubes.... had to pay attention to things...I didn't get it all.

In almost 5 years, I've never listened to MSNBC.
[sarcasm]And if the I-Man goes to Sirius, he'll go to Howard 100. [/sarcasm]

It's the first move in the CBS takeover of XM...they don't want NBC programming on there.

>> I didn't think Imus was rebroadcast on MSNBC. >>
You're right - I tuned in a few mornings during an O&A commercial and always heard a news broadcast...
And if anyone doesn't think Imus would sign with XM to broadcast with O&A, you've obviously never heard the 'Brian Wilson' bit - ever.

Eric, wouldn't they drop FOX support too and replace it with CBS news?

Is Imus still alive ? I thought he passed in 2004 ?
Posted by: matt II | August 24, 2006 10:23 PM
CBS isn't a 24/7 station, would be impossible to turn that into an entire channel....
