Count me weird, but I think he is the best thing on the radio at that hour. He is entertaining, has a dry sense of humor, gets very interesting guests, interviews them in an informal way, doesn't patronize them, and talks about the top news stories of the year. In his interviews, he brings out the side of his guests that you don't hear elsewhere.
I just wish that there were not such long commercial breaks. I frequently tune into Bill Bennett or Bill Press (to see what the other side is craying about this morning), but always to return to Imus. I just wish he was on at a more convenient time slot......I miss half of his program because I don't want to get up at 3 a.m. Maybe I'll start to Tivo his show if he moves to Fox Business channel.
