Imus nearing radio return
Citadel deal brews for shock jock

Don Imus' long-rumored return to the radio dial seems to be quickly coming to fruition.

Imus is in talks with Citadel Broadcasting, owner of ABC Radio, which syndicates talkshow hosts Sean Hannity and Tom Joyner.

The impending deal appears to rule out any potential move to satellite radio. Sirius Satellite Radio chief Mel Karmazin indicated over the summer that he, too, would be interested in doing a deal with Imus.

Radio sources have long predicted that Imus would land at Citadel, which acquired ABC Radio Networks from Walt Disney Co. in 2006, but said another talk giant, New York's WOR, also made a play for his services.
