As an opening note, last week radio personality Don Imus was fired as the World News article was being written. Sadly, my research didn't uncover the news until after the article was finished, as it was buried under the reports of Governor Jon Corzine's auto accident at the same time. Although it is believed that he will find a new show, most likely with satellite radio as Howard Stern and Opie and Antony have done in the past. However he will likely have to wait as Sirius and XM, the two leading satellite radio providers, are currently going through a merger review by the Federal Trade Commission.
New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine was revealed to have not been wearing his seatbelt during last Thursday's serious crash.
