Boston's WTKK Kicks Imus Out

WTKK stuck by Don Imus during the “nappy headed hos” scandal, but the Boston talk radio station is finally giving the cranky cowboy the boot - and expanding Jim Braude and Margery Eagan’s morning-drive show.

Jessica Heslam at herald.com report a station spokeswoman said in a statement yesterday that WTKK-FM (96.9) axed “Imus in the Morning” because it has decided to go with “live and local programming.” WTKK plans to add another hour to Braude and Eagan’s show, which will start earlier at 6 a.m. and run until 10 a.m. beginning Thursday. The station also plans to extend Phil Hendrie’s syndicated show to 6 a.m.

“Don Imus is a legend and we are very grateful for the many contributions he has made over the years on the station,” said WTKK spokeswoman Heidi Raphael.
