Hope for more Imus radio show on TV-NY Times

"Last week, the nation’s largest cable system, Comcast, reached a deal with RFD (RFD currently the TV carrier of the Imus radio show originating at WABC radio in New York), which is mostly seen outside big cities, that could result in the channel’s addition to systems in Washington, Boston, Philadelphia and Nashville, among others. Time Warner is discussing a similar deal that could return Mr. Imus to its cable systems in New York and Los Angeles."...

Mr. (Michael) Beschloss, who has had four books showcased on the Imus program over the last 10 years, was asked if, in deciding to go back on the show, he had felt any sense of indebtedness. “That’s just human nature,” he said. “Of course I do.”

  • But he also said he had been moved by Mr. Imus’s apologies in the days before his firing and his meeting with (and subsequent forgiveness by) the Rutgers team.

“The speed of this,” he said, “is really a response to the magnitude of the apology and the magnitude of the acceptance by the people who were offended.”"

P.S. I purchased an Imus Ranch coffee mug the first week he was back, and it's the best coffee mug I've ever had. Most coffee mugs are too big or too small, this one is in between, just right. (sm)
