Rev. Sharpton Cool with Imus' Return

Don Imus is headed back to the radio airwaves, and the Rev. Al Sharpton
won't be standing in his way.

According to Radar, Imus' sidekick Bo Dietl hinted over the weekend on the
radio that Imus will be back at WFAN by September -- five months after he
was fired by CBS Radio and MSNBC for calling players on the Rutgers
University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos."

During the April controversy, Sharpton allowed Imus to appear on his own
radio show to issue an apology. Afterward, Sharpton said the apology wasn't
good enough.

But Sharpton told Radar that he won't block Imus' return to radio this fall.

"My position is that we never called for him to be permanently barred from
being on the air. We'll see when he comes back, and if he comes back, what
are the boundaries and what is the understanding. We'll be monitoring the
situation, but we wanted him to pay for being a repeat abuser, and he paid.
We never said we didn't want him to make a living."

Some posts ago you said Imus was going to go satellite.
Now it's back to WFAN.

What's next?
Internet radio?
Ham radio??
