Glenn Beck may be one of the hottest talk show hosts in the country, but he apparently left New York's WOR cold.
WOR (710 AM), one of the city's two biggest talk radio stations, said this morning it is dropping Beck's syndicated show as of Jan. 17 and replacing him with a familiar New York name: Mike Gallagher.
"The reason is ratings," said WOR program director Scott Lakefield. "Somewhat to our surprise, the show wasn't getting what we wanted."
It's not a shocker that New Yorkers weren't buying his bullshit. But reputation-wise, Beck losing New York is huge. It's his home base. Limbaugh, meanwhile, will always be on in New York.
