Imus coming back to TV

With the recent news that Don Imus was coming back to radio on New York's WABC-AM, fans were left wondering if he'd get a new TV deal. RFD-TV announced today that they signed a 5-year deal to carry Imus in the Morning. That's right. Imus and the Big Joe Polka Show on the same channel!



RFD-TV doesn't exactly have the reach of Imus's former TV home of MSNBC. But it is on Dish Network and DirecTV, as well as a handful of cable systems. The network targets a demographic interested in all things rural. So, there's lots of shows about livestock, country music and rodeos. You know. Rural stuff.

RFD-TV plans to put Imus on live from 6-9AM Eastern Time, and then will rebroadcast the show later from 6-9PM Eastern Time on its HD channel. It all starts on December 3.
