$10 says that he'll be on satellite radio within 1 month!
I was saying the same thing!
I think thats doubtful. My opinion is the only way satellite will pay his salary is if they know they are going to get new listeners from it. I dont think he has enough draw to bring new listeners to satellite radio.
Especially due to the merger, I would not be surprised if they did not bring on any new personalities until that is given the yay/nay.
you know what though? you can't buy this kind of publicity and people will be drawn to his show (assuming he does get one) just out of curiosity.

Re: They just announced on WFAN that Imus has been fired - his show has been cancelled for good
honestly, I don't care about HIM, b/c I never listened to HIM.
I do care though, about what his firing represents.
but, it follows suit when the pressure is put on. I believe a dj was fired from hot 97 a few years back, then Opie and Anthony...and what about the other guys, with the water drinking contest where the chick died?
and even Howard was fired from a few stations before he went to KRock.
I wouldn't care as much if it WAS about social responsibility.
but it IS about money. and I think that is far more disgusting.

While I agree that people will be curious to hear what he says, I don't think the normal radio listener is curious enough to spend $50.00 on a unit and $12.00 a month, just because Imus is on whichever provider's network.

Wow. I guess an apology doesn't mean anything anymore.
Maybe people should boycott WFAN and MSNBC. 
People should. We all should - if we think what is happening to Imus is wrong, then someone should do something - write letters at the very least - so there's a voice on the oposite side of this argument.

True but thats not the point...doesn't anyone else feel that this is a double standard...Imus said something and was fired...the same something that Dave Chappelle says all the time and gets $50 million for
What a day for the First Amendment

Re: They just announced on WFAN that Imus has been fired - his show has been cancelled for good
it's not about the first amendment AT ALL.
it's about sponsors not wanting their products associated with a "racist" or with anything that Al Sharpton and Co. can get their forked tongues on.
advertisers by time on certain shows to hit a particular audience. as soon as something happens to affect that targeted demographic, they will pull their add.
they know anyone watching Dave Chapelle is watching for that reason...he is known and at least marginally accepted for it...Imus was a different story...
it is ONLY about money.
and perhaps the "I can say that b/c I am...black/white/hispanic/jewish" mentality is in effect too.
a stereotype is a stereotype is a stereotype, no matter who perpetuates it.

True it is about $$$......but lets wait and see how this affects what people can and can not say in the future, thus affecting peoples free speech

People should. We all should - if we think what is happening to Imus is wrong, then someone should do something - write letters at the very least - so there's a voice on the oposite side of this argument.
I'm not sure, but I think Imus' show originates from WFAN and was syndicated by CBS, picked up by MSNBC. He might still have his show coming out of WFAN, and could be theoretically be picked up by other radio networks. Just not sure if WFAN is to blame.
I don't like CBS's decision, either.
ETA: I checked the info. CBS bought/owns WFAN. I guess that's why Imus couldn't broadcast out of WFAN yesterday while he was suspended. I believe WFAN is a pawn/puppet of CBS in this case.

true that.
while it may not be "about" the first amendment...people may start thinking twice about their jobs before saying what is really on their minds.
