Imus canned by MSNBC

[David Tomm]

Big difference.  Imus was only on WEEI for what, six or seven years?  I 
think he was on WTKK longer than he was on WEEI.  Imus has been doing 
mornings on 660 (first WNBC, then later WFAN since the 1971 (with the 
exception of a year or two in the late 70's)  He has a very loyal, 
established, upscale audience which was responsible for generating an 
estimated 22 million dollars per year for WFAN.  That's just morning 
drive.  That will be difficult to replace.
