     Emmis Broadcasting has reversed its decision and will return the "Todd and Don Show" to the KLBJ-AM radio airwaves after the show was yanked in July for racial slur

    The show, which ran from 10 to 11 a.m. weekdays on AM 590, was pulled after host Don Pryor used the word "wetback" several times in a segment. Both Pryor and co-host Todd Jeffries were reprimanded; Pryor was not fired, but could not hold any other on-air positions at the station.

    Emmis Austin Radio met with Hispanic leaders on Tuesday to discuss cultural sensitivity issues. Employees at all six of its Austin stations will take mandatory diversity training.

    The show will return to its original timeslot on Dec. 7.
