I should say right up front that I never quite “got” Imus in the Morning. Plus, as a New York Sports fan, I wasn’t exactly crazy about the fact that he took up like four hours in the morning drive slot on WFAN, the city’s (heck, the world’s) premier sports talk station. But I know a lot of people DO like the guy, so I thought I’d let you all know about his resurfacing after the “nappy-headed-hos” remark that got him booted from WFAN and MSNBC.

According to a recent story in Broadcasting & Cable, Imus is set to return to the air, and his show will be simulcast on RFD-TV, a channel that is primarily available to subscribers of Dish Network and Direct TV. (There are a few cable companies that carry it, but it’s unspecified who those carriers are.)

Here’s a brief snippet from the article. I guess all you Imus fans out there can start rejoicing:

Imus will get a three-hour morning slot on the satellite/cable channel, which will be repeated at its HD channel the same evening. RFD-TV claims nearly 30 million homes via DirecTV, EchoStar Communications’ Dish Network and various cable deals.
