Haven't you missed the mornings where you could watch Don Imus' skin try to escape from his face, in between his lobbing racial insults and encouraging guests to participate? The reason we're posing the question is because of this hypothetical: The currently-being-sued Imus is thismuchcloser to returning to widespread broadcast, thanks to RFD-TV, a TV network that's focused on rural America and just inked an "affiliation" deal with Comcast.
RFD-TV already carries Imus' show under a 5-year deal, but now the channel, founded by Patrick Gottsch, is also poised to negotiate carrier contracts through Comcast with different markets, including biggies like D.C., Boston, Chicago, and San Fran, who would each have to decide whether there is enough viewer interest, and room on the dial, to accommodate Imus.
Maybe soon, you'll be able to flip off that Morning Joe for some fourth-grade jokes aimed at gays and blacks. We hear they're great for repeating around the water cooler.

4th grade jokes? Are you nuts or just pretending to be one?
You possibly are a shill for the none entity in all media Al Sharpton. Also the cowards CBS radio and MSNBC. Both stations are doing very poorly.
Imus has been welcomed in my home for over 10 years on TV, and on radio for the last 35 years.
Good luck.
If you don't like Imus, then WHY are you spending so much time talking about him? Go sit down somewhere!
It's so obvious you don't listen to his show. Imus' interviews and interrogations are legendary. I'd sooner listen to his show than Meet the Press when I want to know what politicos are really thinking. 4th grade jokes? you don't have a clue!
Right on Harley and Linda….
The blogger here is as silly as the publisher of FlatSigned, Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller disclosed his whole case to one of our friends. What a numb-nutz.
Who's the "Hater" here. Absolutely clueless.
The Imus show features the best the country has to offer in authors, historians and political analysts. He has the ability to get the best out of them. It is far from 4th grade material. The author of this article is obviously ignorant of the facts that matter.
Find another topic, please. Anyone who watches Don Imus recognizes this blather for what it is (Lazy journalism), and those who don't watch, don't care anyway. I am sorry you are so threatened by the possibility of Don Imus actually reaching his fan base nationwide. Just move on and leave him and us alone!
The "Blogger" at this site is delusional…and totally clueless. Post something you might have some first hand knowledge of…perhaps, maybe, you might try blogging about… something you have ANY comprehension of…aside from vicious attacks. Your "readers" would be better served.
Don't you just love it when ignorant people write about things of which they have no knowledge.
Oh, and the prentendo-blogger forgot about the jokes about fatties, "family connected" business owners, Irish people (which I am)… hey, everyone, come to think of it. Don doesn't discriminate. He nails everyone equally. And I love it.
Please shut down your Vic 20, leave this country and visit the country of your ancestors and STAY THERE!
Moron.
It sounds as if this blogger knows quite a bit about fourth-grade jokes. Anybody who thinks that Imus' listeners/viewers are tuning in to the unwatchable Morning Joe has the IQ of, well, a fourth-grader. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are absolutely horrid.
Wow do you demonstrate a certain amount of ignorance of Imus and his show. For those who don't know Imus satirized everyone. Are you afraid of satire? It does seem so so by your post here.
