" In 1996 as MSNBC was being launched... NBC Executive Producer of Special Events and Breaking News David Bohrman suggested to NBC president Andy Lack that putting Don Imus' program on the new cable channel was the right thing to do. Bohrman contacted Imus, and over the course of several visits and business conversations a deal was struck so that the radio program would be simulcast on MSNBC. Cameras were installed in the WFAN radio studio, and remotely controlled from MSNBC headquarters in New Jersey. One of the unique features of the first few years of the program was that the television version's commercials and the radio commercials happened at different times, which allowed TV viewers a voyeuristic view of Imus and his team getting ready for the next segments. The program was a huge success on cable news for quite a while. Bohrman (who Imus referred to as "Moosebutt") produced the first few dozen programs, then hired Terry Irving to become the day-to-day Executive Producer of the television version of the program.."

Hi Pat!!
Plus, he was the guy who pitched an idea to then ABC head Roone Arledge to do an overnight news show that broke all the rules. World News Now was the result. "More insomniacs get their news from ABC News than anywhere else" was the tagline. Seems like he would've been a fun guy to work for.
