In media news, the radio talk show host Don Imus has reached an undisclosed settlement over his firing from CBS. Imus was forced out earlier this year after referring to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.” Imus had threatened to seek more than $120 million for breach of contract. He’s been rumored to have actually received some $20 million. Some observers say the settlement could mark a step toward Imus’ return to the airwaves. He’s said to be in talks with the radio station WABC about resuming his daily broadcast.
