Don Imus Set to Make a Radio Comeback

After an eight month paid leave, radio shock jock Don Imus will once again be hitting the airwaves. He will return to nationally syndicated morning radio Dec. 3 on WABC (770 AM).

CBS radio pulled Imus off the radio back in April after he remarked that the Rutgers University women's basketball team looked like "nappy-headed hos."

According to Business Week, WABC radio President and General Manager Steve Borneman is excited to bring Imus back, saying, "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."

Still, Imus' return has outraged groups like the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Organization for Women, said Business Week.

Rev. Al Sharpton, who previously sought the radio host's firing, is now coming to his defense.

According to Business Week, Sharpton said, "Mr. Imus has the right to make a living, but we have the right to make sure he does not come back to disrupt our living."
