CBS Radio
New York, NY: (Aug-14-07) Don Imus and CBS Radio have been embroiled in a legal battle against each other regarding the Imus radio program on CBS. The two have finally decided to put an end to the legal wrangle and opt for a settlement. The settlement pre-empts the dismissed radio personality's threatened $120 million breach of contract lawsuit.
Following that, Imus is talking to WABC-AM and other stations about making a possible comeback. The settlement and possible comeback come more than four months after Imus created an uproar over his racist and sexist comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Just before his dismissal, Imus signed a five-year, $40 million contract to continue his nationally syndicated radio program, based at New York's WFAN-AM, which is owned by CBS Radio and a part of CBS Corp. Imus threatened in May that he planned to sue CBS for $120 million in unpaid salary and damages. The terms of the settlement will not be disclosed, according to the statement, and only the fact that a settlement has been reached will be disclosed. [LEXINGTON HERALD LEADER: DON IMUS CONTRACT]
