There's no first amendment protection in the corporate world. If the networks don't want to have his words on their broadcasts, there's nothing to make them air him. And they don't have to wait for listener backlash either. First amendment protection applies to governmental restrictions.

There might even be a clause in his contract about how offensive he can be - and that wouldn't be prior restraint.

Imus is a jackass.
