Dietl is quoted in the New York Post as saying, “I’m not supposed to say, but…if he was to be coming back, I would look to September,” writes Radio & Records.
The Post article reported that, according to another source, Imus is looking for a black “sidekick” to bring on the air with him, in the hopes that that person will “take the sting out” of any possible racial cracks like the one that got him canned.
CBS Radio’s WFAN-AM in New York has not yet filled the morning slot that was vacated when Imus was fired following his racially charged comments about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team.
