Ironically, the big stink is gonna make such that there is no way NBC will fire the guy...higher ratings = higher ad rev.

Just a slight correction.WNBC radio is no longer in business.It's WFAN now.

ATRAB's on 126

Imus will not get fired.First of all his show is a radio show that MSNBC has decided to simulcast.He's not an employee of MSNBC but of WFAN radio which is owned by CBS.He brings in more revenue in 4 hours a day than the rest of the programming does the rest of the day.If MSNBC decides to stop simulcasting his show he wouldn't care less.This will be old news by the time the derby is run.

This is not going away.The reason why is because there is too much similiar stuff on tape that they can show everybody.People,this is not a one time deal here.The "heavy" (Bernard) has said so much stuff like this,and Don is on tape laughing,and then saying his comment was unfortunate.Well,he knew very well what he was gunna say.These are like guys hitting a tennis ball back and forth.If you think Blacks don't care about it,you are f'n just wrong.Just today a guy is telling me about The Williams Sisters,and how these 2 guys joked about how they had a better chance of being in National Geographic(rather than Playboy.) See,this is not on here.They are gunna have so much fuel.MSNBC will be accused of turning a blind eye.The least that will have to be done is can Bernard.If they are gunna clean the show up then he really would be out of place anyways.My God,some of the stuff he has said while portraying a priest??? Oh man..If they start looking at that,this is gunna get worse n' worse.

If they get rid of Imus then i'm sure XM or Sirius will pick him up. If it were me I would've been negotiating with the sat providers years ago. F*ck the FCC.

I have only seen it on T.V. Have never just listened to it.That is unlike Stern(who was NOT carried live on T.V.) This is not the same.This is a bit older audience,and not as hardcore loyal as the Stern fans.

The show is o.k..........Not something good enough to pay for(I don't think.)I ain't paying for that detective guy(BO) to take up time on there.I mean making up fake words used to be funny.It is old now.

Yeah but XM and Sirius are notorius for overpaying. He should cash in before he dies.
