The FAILED Fox Business Channel gets desperate. Going to run Imus instead of biz news

"This fall, Don Imus will make a big return.

And when he does, rest assured, his most vocal public critic will be there to cry foul.

This morning, executives at the Fox Business Network officially announced that they will begin simulcasting Mr. Imus' WABC morning radio show, weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m., beginning on October 5. In the new arrangement, a handful of FBN reporters, including Jenna Lee and Connell McShane, will occasionally chime in to Imus in the Morning to report on breaking business stories.
"

During the peak time for investors prior to the market opening they will have Imus and whatever he talks about.

Fox Business Channel = Epic Fail.

1. I have just one word for Rupert: Titties
The only way he can make Faux successful is to have all those airhead newsreaders topless. Hiring Don Imus is going in the wrong direction. Nobody wants to look at that old freak. He's the anti-Viagra and will ruin marriages.

3. Ta-Tas would be returning to Faux's roots ...
Before gaining "respectability" by buying the rights for the NFL broadcasts, their success was basically based on "Married ... with Children" and "The Simpsons" ...

5. Imus should feel right at home at a place with no ratings.
