Imus back on radio, but not in our area

Looks like the clock ran out on Don Imus' unemployment insurance (http://www.bradenton.com/449/story/246582.html).

As you might recall, MSNBC and CBS fired the radio personality (as he is euphemistically called in news wire stories) about eight months ago, after comments that he later referred to as "essentially reprehensible" and which you will not see repeated here.

Our phones were ringing this morning with queries about where listeners (as they are euphemistically called) could tune in once they heard the news he was back on the air as of 6 a.m. this morning.

You can't get Imus on the radio here in Manatee County, but thanks to the wonders of the Internet, you can hear him anywhere in the world. Go to www.wabcradio.com.
