He was boring anyway
Imus was fired because he was getting old and boring and his ratings were going down. NBC was only too glad to have a good excuse to kick him out midcontract.
It was a pure market decision. Sagging ratings.
And firing him because of racist sexist remarks would be a market decision too. It's a free market out there and NBC and hire or fire who they like without government involvement. If the audience doesn't like the DJ anymore, NBC is simply responding to markey demands by firing him. Simple.
