Imus Returns: Imus In The Morning, first day on 77 WABC New York | December 3, 2007
It was the most anticipated radio event of the year. Don Imus, fired from CBS & MSNBC over perceived racially insensitive comments about the Rutgers Womens Basketball team, returned to the airwaves to an excited group of listeners on 77 WABC!
WABC’s corporate owners, Citadel, say they will syndicate Imus from WABC to many of their stations nationwide, starting around the first of January. The first station to sign up for the nationwide broadcast was Greater Media’s WTKK 96.9 in Boston about a week ago. This particular broadcast, however, while drawing national attention, was a WABC only broadcast.
Love him or hate him, WABC is banking that Imus will do better than the longtime morning show of Curtis & Kuby, who have moved into a new time slot. Will the audience return? How was the first broadcast? Listen for yourself as we present an original recording by Matt @ Big Apple Airchecks - all four hours of Imus in the Morning, on 77 WABC!

The aircheck as a whole is four hours long; is there any way to split it up?
Yes, as a matter of fact, its on my to do list. My work schedule didn’t permit me time to split it up yesterday, so I’m thinking it’ll happen this weekend.
Patience, my friend
welcome back Imus, you were missed.
I can’t remember not listening to Imus in the morning. Absolutely loved your 1st show back. Great, Great radio!
