It seems The I-Man is returning ;D around December 1st. Which one of our fine audio outlets will broadcast his show? I think 850, The Buzz should try and pick it up again. With another Sports Station in town, this might give them a competitive edge. I still do not think this area can support 3 Sport Stations, one should get Imus. ???

IMUS BACK IN THE MORNING...
- Thread starter Stuart
- Start date
It' still too early to tell, since 99.9 The Fan just launched last week, but maybe they'll fare better than Triangle Sports Talk 1490/1090 did. So far, they've picked up the N.C. State coaches' shows, ACC Tournament games not involving N.C. State, Notre Dame football, the Carolina Hurricanes, and NFL football games on Sunday afternoons (the Sunday night and Monday night games are on 620 The Bull). Now if they'd just pick up the Braves games next season...
Imus was always expensive to stations, but the syndication fee was always relative to the market. Truth is, it is all about the numbers, Big Ape! The more ratings points (RADAR) they can get, the more they can charge for their advertising - where they make the big bucks.
Certainly, the want the Raleigh/Durham market, and I would suspect they would seek an affiliate in Charlotte and in the Triad.

Whileas that may be true in the past, that's not set in concrete now. With the economy the way it is people are holding on to their hard earned dollars. I don't care if it is Don Imus or Jesus Christ, the market can only stand so much in advertising rates..National Spots may prevail, but any local advertisers are not going to support the big buck advertising schedule for Imus or anyone else.! BIG APE! Hell, back in the 70's WSGSOHP couldn't even support Spooner on WTOB and he was cheap!
Personally, I think if we could get Jesus to host (no pun) a morning show, it would be worth the fees. He could even do some "drop in" voices for the Christmas Music Station. ;D ;D (No Religious Slurs Intended).
Would it be possible to put Imus on a station that is heard both in the Triangle and Triad? Just an example, I now have to listen to Rock-92 to hear some Classic Rock. They come in very good in Durham and Chapel Hill. (I do not know about Raleigh)

Just talked to him (GOD) said he's not interested, neither is IMUS, Shannon, Grease, Thomas or me! Thanks ..BIG APE! "will survive" without the ZOO!!!This morning, I was reading that fine paper known as "The Durham Herald-Sun". There was an article about Imus returning to WABC Radio which is owned by Citadel Broadcasting. The article also mentioned Citadel does not own any stations in North Carolina. Does this mean there is not a chance Imus will be broadcast here? ???
