ANNOUNCES RETURN OF DON IMUS TO
WHDQ-FM “Q-106”
West
Lebanon, NH - Nassau Broadcasting Partners,
LP announced today the return of famed radio personality
Don Imus
to Nassau’s WHDQ-FM, “Q106” on Monday
December 3, 2007. WHDQ broadcasts the Classic Rock format
on 106.1 FM throughout the Upper Valley and Keene regions
of New Hampshire, as well through Eastern Vermont and
is part of the Lebanon-Rutland-White River Junction Arbitron
market.
“Imus in the Morning” is a syndicated radio
program originating at the ABC Radio Broadcast Studio in
New York City. The Imus in the Morning show aired for over
14 years on “Q-106” and Nassau is pleased to
have him back on the air. Shirley Clark, General Manager
of the Nassau Broadcasting Station WHDQ, said that both listeners
and advertisers of the IMUS show have been craving his return
since April. “There has not been a day that has passed
by since April that I haven’t taken calls, comments,
or requests for the return of the show”, Clark said.
She believes Imus’ will confront his critics head on
with the hottest issues, political antagonism and practice
of his first amendment rights as it applies to terrestrial
radio.
Don Imus
began broadcasting on WNBC New York in 1971 where he gained
national
recognition. The format was a mixture
of Rock and Roll and banter with listeners. By the late 1980’s
Imus moved from playing music and concentrated on discussing
current events with many high profile political pundits.
The show kick off will occur on Monday December 3rd 2007,
and will be aired weekdays from 6AM to 10AM.
