MSNBC says to drop Imus program
NBC Universal said on Wednesday it would no longer simulcast Don Imus' radio program over its cable television network MSNBC amid an outcry over sexist and racist comments by the host. NBC Universal said in a statement: "This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension."NBC Universal is 80 percent owned by General Electric and 20 percent by Vivendi. The move by the media company comes after a number of major corporations, including General Motors and Sprint Nextel Corp., withdrew their advertising from the Imus show. The radio show is broadcast by CBS Radio, a unit of CBS Corp. Posted by: Fred 2007-04-12 |
