Glenn Beck dropped by New York's WOR radio station over poor ratings, replaced by Mike Gallagher

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."

1. like dead fish or visiting relatives, or even more,

like my bachelor friend's fridge, things begin to stink over time.

Beck is seeing the beginning of the end.

Neither one is worth a damn.

4. "(H)is syndicated radio show is losing the top market."

"The program, which airs on WOR 710 from 9 a.m. from noon each morning, is being yanked due to low ratings."

Let Beck join the has-beens of conservative talk radio like Curtis Sliwa and Dennis Miller on WNYM in Jersey.

5. For some odd reason

Radio stations have not heard that Americans voted for Obama.

And somehow the radio stations are surprised that listeners don't want to hear Obama bashing 24/7.

So WOR will play "musical hate host," exchanging one Obama/Democrat Basher for another, and they will continue to get poor ratings, yet they will never quite understand why.

Radio people aren't very bright....
