According to the Drudge Report, WABC radio in New York has struck a deal with fired jock Don Imus to bring his "Imus in the Morning" radio show back to the airwaves.
Last spring, the program was booted from its radio home at CBS and television portal MSNBC after he called the Rutgers University basketball team "nappy-headed hoes."
According to Drudge, the new deal comes with an "eight-figure, multi-year contract."
A source says WABC plans to cover its behind by keeping Imus on a 40-second delay, which will give censors plenty of time to bleep out questionable content.
As previously reported, Imus settled with former employer CBS over his breach-of-contract lawsuit for a reported $20 million.
