Don Imus came to a settlement with his former employer CBS Radio today for a reported $20 million. How's that for a last pay check? The settlement makes Don Imus a free agent and it appears that he has more than a few options for a return to radio. There is a rumor that he'll land a spot at ABC. If not there is Clear Channel and both XM and Sirius satellite radio are willing to give him a shot. Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin would write him another eight figure check this afternoon, "The fact that he had been fired wouldn't stop me from having Don work for me again," he said. "He makes you a lot of money." Imus could be back on the air as soon as four months from now. more..

Who listens to or watches Don Imus in the first place? more..
