"I'm going to continue to come to work every day until they tell me not to," Kuby told the New York Daily News.

Sliwa had no comment about sharing the airwaves with Imus.

"I work with Ron Kuby _ I have enough problems," he quipped.

Tuesday, Steve Borneman, president and general manager of WABC, said no one at WABC had spoken to Imus and that he was happy with "Curtis and Kuby."

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who led the charge to get Imus off the air, said wherever the insult comic lands, he'll be closely watched.

"Mr. Imus has the right to work but we have the right to make sure that this repeat offender does not return and continue what he has done historically," he said.

"It is also a testimony to the movement of people that raised their voices to fire Imus that CBS would rather pay him off than keep him on," he added.

But some were questioning whether CBS had learned its lesson.

WFAN announced Tuesday that Craig Carton, "The Jersey Guys" co-host who has been accused of insensitivity, will join ex-NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason in Imus' old time slot.

New Jersey Assemblyman Wilfredo Caraballo said Carton is "a guy who's managed to insult almost every community around."

"You would have thought that after the Rutgers incident that a lesson would have been learned."
