Don Imus, who as a big morning radio personality in New York in the early ’90’s, played an influential role in Connecticut’s debate over the income tax in 1991, is leaving television.
His morning show is currently simulcast on the Fox Business Network, but FBN and Imus have apparently agreed to end that arrangement at the end of May. Imus plans to spend more time on his recently purchased ranch in Texas. The news was announced in typical, gruff Imus fashion without explanation.
Back in ’91 Imus broadcast his show from the Connecticut Capitol one morning with Governor Lowell Weicker as the featured guest. Twenty-five years later, some of the issues debated at the Capitol that summer are still on the agenda today.
