Don Imus has settled with CBS Radio and is now a free agent, and radio industry insiders and Wall Street analysts alike are pegging Citadel’s ABC Radio Networks as the likely landing place of the controversial talk show host, writes The New York Post.
Citadel CEO Farid Suleman understands the plusses and minuses of working with controversial stars like Imus, Howard Stern and others, according to one analyst. Suleman and former Infinity and Westwood One cohort Joel Hollander together put Bill O’Reilly on the radio, and brought Marv Albert back to call Monday Night Football after he was accused of biting a sex partner in 1997. Last week, Suleman signed a deal to bring back Bob Grant to WABC-AM in New York after an 11-year exile.
Publicly, Suleman has only said that he thinks Imus’s availability represents an opportunity to explore, and that he will consider hiring him if he can make the numbers work.
