(Newser) – Don Imus is negotiating with Fox Business to broadcast a video simulcast of his morning talk show, the Los Angeles Times reports. Imus had a simulcast deal with MSNBC when his radio show was on CBS, before he referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.” He now broadcasts on WABC with a simulcast on rural and agriculture-focused cable channel RFD-TV; the Fox deal would end that relationship.

"We talk to interesting and engaging talent all the time,” a Fox Business spokeswoman says.

Fox business is the littlest part of the Fox enterprise. They can afford to wait a long time to see profit. I mus is a popular bigmouth who does a lot of good. MSNBC is a dying enterprise that has to seel a large piece of its airtime to infomercials to survive.
