"We're the only local news/talk station here in NYC in the morning," said John Gambling. Alluding to Imus and WABC's 5 a.m. host Curtis Sliwa, he cracked, "The guy with the cowboy hat and the guy with the beret are going to have to watch their backs."
Gambling said, not for the first time, that he has little use for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama and that John McCain is "not the candidate I would put together if it were up to me."
Gambling spent the last eight years at WABC (770 AM), after WOR startled him in 2000 by not renewing his contract. In some ways, he suggested yesterday, his return is also startling.
"Who'd a thunk it?" he said, adding several times, "I can't tell you how happy I am to be here."

Popular host John Gambling was fired from WABC in March and rehired by WOR in May...
Imus?
The name doesn’t ring a bell.
Excellent-thanks for the update. Gambling is very good. Can’t stand Imus or Sliwa. At least Kuby is gone.
Imus is another liberal arse.
McPain is his IDEAL candidate ... give you a clue where this pointed head is coming from. Imus is disgusting.
You’re welcome. I pleasantly discovered his show on WOR by accident this morning...
On top of that, I find Imus to be so tedious and boring...
The “humor” of Imus is also lacking. His humor is gutter humor.
also nasty....
I agree totally. IMHO he's on his way out...

Slightly off topic, but since Imus returned to the airwaves, I haven’t heard or read anything about him. Is he still relevant?
I sure hope so. He must have signed a huge contract, his “leaving” unfortunately won't be as quick as I would like.
long time listener to 77WABC AM’s programming
and cannot understand why they did what they did.
heard imus one morning mumbling a monologue about whatever and turned off the radio,and turned off it stays.The energy that was once there with curtis & kuby,warner wolf + the open line callers is gone and that station’s morning show is dead.
their loss.
As relevant as a gelding on a stud farm.
Happy to hear this! Thanks!
Imus really is such a drag. He may have good interviews, but his own self-absorption always gets in the way. I can’t take him for more than a few minutes -— and then he is turned off. Also, I HATE the music interludes! I tune in for news - and it is NEWS that I want.
May Gamblings ratings overtake Imus and make WABC think twice about what they’ve done.
More power to you John!
He thinks he is...:)
