Imus still on the air in Loma Linda
[Posted by Dave Haber on Saturday, 04/14/07 3:45 pm] [Related Posts] [Digg This]Because of a small San Bernardino radio station, KCAA-AM in Loma Linda, California, Don Imus is stil on the air.
According to Channel 4 TV in Los Angeles, the 1400-watt station says it will run a "Best of Imus" series next week in defiance of the firing of the radio host after he made sexist and racist remarks on his nationally syndicated show.

Station chairman Fred Lundgren says the station will begin the series Monday with the program that ended Imus' 40-year career: the one where he referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed ho's."
The station also plans to also air mostly supportive listener mail and e-mail reacting to the week-long controversy.
Lundgren says the station needs Imus to fill out its morning schedule. He says without the Imus show, the station is "pretty much toast." But he also says he thinks the Imus situation is "an overreaction beyond anything" he's "ever seen in radio."
Thank you, Mr. Lundgren, for standing up for Imus, and as a result, standing up for the Free Speech of all Americans!
BTW, Loma Linda is only about an hour drive, about 70 miles, from where Don Imus started his radio career, Palmdale, California, in 1968.
