Warner Wolf will be joining ESPN 1050 in an expanded role starting Monday, as a morning drive time sports anchor during the week and for an extra hour on Saturday mornings, when his show will run from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Wolf first will be heard at 5:40 a.m. weekdays with overnight host Gordon Damer, then do local updates on the national "Mike and Mike'' show.
Wolf had been heard on WABC on weekdays, but as of Monday that station's morning slot will be occupied by a Mr. Don Imus.
So who will do sports for Imus? I'm working on nailing that one down.
I can tell you Imus is believed to be planning to add two African-Americans to his cast, and that one of those black cast members will be his new sports guy.
I'm assuming the I-man will be officially announcing of all this when he appears on "20/20" Friday night with Barbara Walters.
(Update: My information about when Imus will chat with Babs was WRONG. Here is the right information from Newsday's own Verne Gay.)

Does this mean that Bob Galerstein IS NO MORE? Thank you sports gods.
Turning up the heat on Norm and the Cartoon...
The Cartoon will have to create some controversy, and soon.
I predict more making fun of Russo and more racist nonsense from
Egosian and the Empty Carton...
hey neil, you dont have to use african-american in one sentence and then black in the next. they are the same people. i dont know why people do this. everyone does this.
Neil, the abc.com website for 20/20 has no representation that imus is on friday. You sure about that?
Neil, i don't think its friday night. as others have pointed out, nothing on walters webpage.
I've Tivo'd it just in case. Don't want to miss a minute of the I-Man's return to broadcasting. Thanks for sticking with this, Neil. It will all be worth it starting Monday!
Probably decent ratings for the first day of Imus's show after that it will sink faster than the Titanic. Its so pathetic how much press this man gets, overrated and overpaid hack that he is.
Neil, who is sports guy monday on wabc?. Its friday so I'm sure you will find out today.
I have a pretty good idea but can't write it quite yet. Not a big name. Enjoy the show.
