Imus not carried on local radio I am a fan of the Don Imus morning radio show, and to my chagrin he is not on KMED any more. Can you please tell me on what radio station I can find him after I was led to believe that he would be on KMED indefinitely? � Thomas B., White City Sorry, Thomas, but apparently the only way you can hear Imus is to tune in to, or perhaps record, his TV show, which is on MSNBC from 3 to 7 a.m. weekdays. That�s Channel 62 on Charter Cable TV. Keith Lollis, general manager of KMED, says he knows of no other station carrying Imus locally. KMED dropped Imus at the end of 1999 when his contract with the station expired.

Lollis says Imus didn�t fit the profile of KMED�s image as "a well-established nostalgic music station.�� ("Since You Asked'' is a daily feature in the Mail Tribune that answers questions from readers on virtually any topic of general interest.
