Philly Radio: The I-Man Returns


The irascible, cantankerous, humorous New York City cowboy, Don Imus, will arrive back on Philly's radio dial starting Monday morning.

According to philly.com, his return on WWIQ 106.9 FM talk radio station comes six years after he was last on radio in Philadelphia. He was dropped in 2007 after some racist/sexist remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team.

Imus will be heard 6 to 9 a.m. each weekday on 106.9, a Merlin Media-owned station that fills out its nationally syndicated daily schedule also including Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.

Imus is replacing another New York City-based personality Lionel and squarely puts 106.9's national talking heads against the local-heavy lineup on Philadelphia's The Big Talker 1210 AM.
