Imus crazy like a FOX

Although Don Imus frequently talks about country music and being a cowboy, the rural-focused RFD-TV was clearly nothing more than a place of penance for the gravely voiced radio icon.

Love him or hate him, his ability to land the a-list politicians, business leaders and political commentators makes him a good fit for a bigger news outlet such as Fox, the TV network on which Imus debuted today.

Personally, I enjoy his conversations with senators and historians, but what's your take? Did Imus pay his dues for his infamous Rutgers comments? Do you like his interview style, or think he's washed up?

Jim Dai Dumped

When I received a bunch of emails yesterday asking thinks like "What happened to Jim Dai and the entire "good" radio personalities at KWJZ 98.9 Seattle??", I knew something was up.

Jim Dai, who we told you three years ago moved from AM to the FM dial after being fired from 880 AM (KIXI), seems to have been cut loose from another Seattle station this month.

Radio-Info reports simply that Jim Dai is out of mornings, replaced by the station's program director Carol Handley.

Radio Host Busted

If you give investment advice on the radio, try not to get busted for identity theft and bank fraud. It might hurt your credibility. I'm just saying.

Dallas CNN 1190 host Clifford Robertson charged with ID theft, bank fraud

The iPod-Man

Cool news announced today about the iPod. FM is here. What's next for Apple? An iPod that plays CDs?

Seriously, this is a good development. I almost brought my iPod with me this morning, but decided it would be nice to have the option to listen to something live or on the air such as talk radio instead of my own pre-loaded songs. So I didn't bother.

And the new iPod's live pause feature is nice now that I'm sooo used to pausing TV with my DVR, I am always trying to pause and rewind my car radio. Probably available with satellite, but I don't want satellite.

Back on Top @Alltop

We were pretty excited about a year ago when Guy Kawasaki's Alltop featured DJMoves as the pole position news feed in their new radio category. We even helped by suggesting other news and information sources.

Unfortunately, when we took a hiatus here and there, Alltop was smart enough to notice, and our feed was automatically removed from their site.

I thought we were banished, but it seems it was just an automatic fail safe mechanism to keep the news on Alltop fresh at all times. That's one more reason Alltop kicks ass.

And now we're back. We welcome all our friends who found us through Alltop, and if you never heard of it, check it out - Alltop will quickly become your new favorite news provider.
