The beleaguered Imus, a 40-year veteran of the airwaves, was fired last week after apologizing for racially insensitive remarks made during his "Imus in the Morning" simulcast.

"We feel he brings a subtle and sophisticated brand of humor to the table. But more importantly, he knows where to draw the line." Gordon hoped the move would attract listeners who are "weary of loose cannon sociopaths with kooky hair styles" adding, "We expect this whole unpleasant episode will soon be forgotten." When asked if the Don Imus firing marked the beginning of the end for "shock jock" radio, Gordon responded, "Don who?"
