One of the most controversial voices in radio is shutting off his mic.
Shock jock Don Imus announced this morning that he is retiring from his eponymous Imus in the Morning radio show. The “I-Man” will broadcast for the final time on March 29.
While Imus’ contract originally went through the end of 2018, the 77-year-old said on air that the bankruptcy of Cumulus Media, which syndicates Imus in the Morning, had required a change of plans.
The move will also affect the show’s six-member staff, who the host
paid out of his own multi-million dollar contract. Imus said he was
announcing his retirement early to give them a chance to find work.
He added that Cumulus initially offered to pay show staff through
March 31, and then offered him $1 million to be part of a new WABC
morning show until December. Imus declined the extension.
