Don Imus To Return in December
Don Imus will return to the airwaves Dec. 3 on New York’s WABC-AM, only nine months after being pulled from the airwaves over racist comments. He called the Rutgers University’s women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos” on the air, sparking a national furor.
Imus will return with his longtime newsman, Charles McCord, and other members of his morning team. His show will replace the morning team of Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby on the Citadel Broadcasting-owned station.
Prospects of Imus’ return, anticipated for months, have outraged critics including the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Organization for Women, who said the idea of him coming back to the airwaves months after he was fired is nearly as insulting as the comments that drove him off the air.
Rev. Al Sharpton, one of the strongest voices calling for the shock jock’s firing, said Imus had a right to make a living and could return to radio.
