Don Imus is coming back to radio next month — but what about television?

One news report in the New York Times says Imus in the Morning might be simulcast on the little-known cable channel RFD-TV, whose founder says it serves "the needs and interests of rural America, horse lovers, farmers & ranchers."

CEO Patrick Gottsch says he has now had the chance to share meals with the controversial host, to spend time with his people and to ride around pickups with him.
