Six months after being fired in a misogynist scandal, one of the shock jock radio originators, Don Imus, is returning to the airwaves, with a morning show on WABC Radio.

Don Imus, 67, created a huge controversy in April, when he referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as “nappy-headed hos” on his morning radio show. The public outcry was considerable, with civil rights activists demanding that Imus be reprimanded for his misogynistic/racist comments.

MSNBC and CBS Radio initially suspended Imus from his radio and television shows for two weeks and finally fired him altogether.

According to the New York Post, the veteran radio personality will start his new job at WABC Radio this December, most likely as a morning show host. Sources tell the Post that Imus will receive between $5 million and $8 million annually, in his new workplace.

As to rumors that his upcoming show may replace ABC's current “Curtis and Kuby” show, co-host Curtis Sliwa told the Post: “There's nobody that's been more supportive of Imus than me, but I don't think he should get to take bread out of my mouth. He deserves to be back in the game - just not in my seat.”

The New York Times reports that Imus is also negotiating to simulcast his radio show on television and not just any television - RFD-TV, a satellite and cable channel aimed primarily at farming and other rural communities. No deal has reportedly been signed yet, sources told the Times.

Whatever arrangements Imus settles in the end, he has reportedly ironed out his financial differences with his former employer, CBS. Imus threatened to sue CBS for breach of contract soon after being fired.

Imus and CBS Radio had signed a 5-year, 40 million dollar contract, and the veteran radio talk show host was fired only a few months after having started work, he said, claiming the network still owed him a large amount of money.

A settlement was reached in August, but its terms remained confidential.

“Don Imus and CBS Radio have mutually agreed to settle claims that each had against the other regarding the Imus radio program on CBS,” a joint statement from the network and Imus’s attorney said. “The terms of the settlement are confidential and will not be disclosed.”

Considering Imus was claiming he deserved some $120 million, the deal must have been a pretty good one.

He apologized publicly on numerous occasions for his April comments and said that he was not a racist. Among the things that he said at the time was: “I'm not a bad person; I'm a good person, but I said a bad thing. But these young women deserve to know it was not said with malice.”

His apologies to the Rutgers University women's basketball team were formally accepted last spring, after the female athletes agreed to meet with their offender.
