MSNBC Drops Simulcast of 'Imus in the Morning'

MSNBC said Wednesday it will drop its simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning"
radio program, responding to growing outrage over the radio host's racial
slur against the Rutgers women's basketball team.

"This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which
initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into
account many conversations with our own employees," NBC news said in a
statement.

The decision also was announced on air.

Imus triggered the uproar on his April 4 show, when he referred to the
mostly black Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." His
comments have been widely denounced by civil rights and women's groups.

The network's decision came after a growing list of sponsors - including
American Express Co., Staples Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., and General Motors
Corp. - said they were pulling ads from Imus' show for the indefinite
future.

But it did not end calls for Imus to be fired from the radio portion of his
program. The show originates from WFAN-AM in New York City and is syndicated
nationally by Westwood One, both of which are managed by CBS Corp.

Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a director of CBS Corp., said
Wednesday he hoped the broadcasting company would "make the smart decision"
by firing Imus.

"He's crossed the line, he's violated our community," Gordon said in a
telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He needs to face the
consequence of that violation."
