Don Imus will
return to the airwaves December 3 on New York's WABC AM,
only nine months after the cantankerous shock jock's career
seemed doomed over his racist, sexist remark about the
University of Rutgers women's basketball team.
Citadel
Broadcasting Corp. made the announcement Thursday,
confirming long-rumored reports that Imus was coming
back to morning drive time in the same city where he
was fired in April.
''We are ecstatic
to bring Don Imus back to morning radio,'' said 77 WABC
president and general manager Steve Borneman. ''Don's unique
brand of humor, knowledge of the issues, and ability
to attract big-name guests is unparalleled. He is
rested, fired up, and ready to do great radio.''
