…The All-New Imus in the Morning Program on 77 WABC, Where New York comes to talk!
Comments:
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!
Love him or hate him, WABC was banking that Imus would do better than the longtime morning show of Curtis & Kuby, who 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!
@Jason, Dailymotion has the entire show on their site split into six parts though they’ve taken out the musical performances by Levon Helm and Little Sammy Davis but the interviews with Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Christopher Dodd (D-CT), Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin and married politicos Mary Matalin and James Carville are included. When all is said and done with commercials excluded it runs for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
