The "Imus in the Morning" program featuring host Don Imus has been dropped from Washington, D.C. area radio again reports DCRTV, this time as the after-effect of a format change by local affiliate WJZW/105.9. The former oldies station switched to a classic rock format as 'The Edge,' leaving Imus without a capital radio outlet.
Neither Imus nor the imported oldies music gained much ratings traction on 105.9 with the airings of Imus' program itself later adjusted locally to include music interludes that preempted parts of the pseudo-political program.
If Imus is to get another D.C. area outlet, former home WTNT/570 could again emerge as a possible candidate. WTNT had been rejected to air Imus' comeback effort by the program's new syndicator in favor of WJZW.Labels: don imus, radio, washington d.c. area, wjzw, wtnt
