Forbes Business says:

No surprises here. Given his ratings before his "nappy-headed hos" controversy, it's only a matter of time before Imus finds a home again on the radio dial. What isn't yet clear: how will New Imus compare to Old Imus? - Louis Hau

Personally, I wish he'd stay gone. He was foul-mouthed, uncouth, and spiteful. Seemed to be a typical, locker room, know-it-all. Listening to him on TV, for about 10 minutes was enough for me.
