Lots of chatter on negotiations between long-time radio talk show host, Don Imus, and a move over to Fox Business Network. According to Brian Stelter in The New York Times: "The network is in advanced negotiations to simulcast 'Imus in the Morning,' the syndicated talk show, people close to the talks say."

A deal would see Imus leaving RFD-TV, a rural channel where his radio show is currently simulcast on a daily basis. Fox Business News has much to gain from such an arrangement because, "...Mr. Imus, who reportedly reaches millions of radio listeners, would act as a one-man sampling strategy for Fox Business," reports The New York Times.

It will be good for all parties concerned, with more of the talented Fox News and Fox Business anchors, reporters and commentators from the Fox team…and Imus and crew will have a field day matching wits with the Fox team. Everyone wins with this one.
last year i signed up for a satellite dish just to be able to watch the rfd channel and catch imus every morning before work. i hope he comes back on fox or some other network. his is the best show on tv
