Radio provocateur Don Imus, whose daily talk show begins simulcasting on Fox Business Network on Monday, said the cable channel “is a much nicer place” than the other networks that have run his program.
That said, “you’ve got nuts in this building, and I’m not one of them,” Imus told Neil Cavuto on Friday. “I love Glenn [Beck], but I’ll tell you this, it doesn’t end well.”
The debut of “Imus in the Morning” on Fox Business Network comes 2 1/2 years after the shock jock was dropped by CBS Radio and MSNBC for making derogatory comments about the members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team. Imus said he understood the action they took. “You have an obligation if you work for News Corp. or GE to behave yourself,” he said. “It’s irrelevant as to whether I was kidding or not. It starts with the comment. … I fully understand that. Probably what I would have done.”
