Beginning September 3, 1996, the 6 to 9 am portion was simulcast on the cable television network MSNBC.

The show had been broadcast almost every weekday morning for 25 years on radio and 11 years on MSNBC until it was canceled on April 12, 2007 due to controversial comments made on the April 4 broadcast. The remark resulted in the program’s cancellation the following week

The Imus in the Morning program returned to the morning drive on New York radio station WABC on December 3, 2007. WABC is the flagship station of ABC Radio Networks (now Citadel Media), which syndicates the show nationally.

Kelly Ann Walz of Ross Township PA is dead, killed by her pet bear. Kelly Ann Walz’s died feeding her pet bear at 5 pm Sunday. Walz had more than a bear as her pet. Kelly also had a Bengal tiger and an African lion. Walz was licensed to have the bear, even though his body weight was 350 pounds. She was feeding him at the time he attacked her. Kelly Ann Walz would reportedly pass scheduled inspections report state Game Commission officials Sunday. Walz was 37. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Send your love.

According to Lehigh Valley Live, Tim Conway, the game commission’s information educational supervisor for the northeast region, said Walz went inside the bear’s 15-by-15-foot steel and concrete cage to clean it and feed the bear. Officials said while she was inside, the 350-pound bear turned on Walz and killed her. Initial reports indicate a neighbor shot the bear while it was on top of Walz.

Conway said the bear had been kept as a pet since 2000 when the owners applied for a license. This was no a free-roaming bear that attacked the woman. She also had a Bengal tiger and an African lion at the home. Both animals were licensed by the state to be kept as pets. Why on earth would I want to have such animals as pets? Whatever happened to owning a cat or a dog?
