WOR in New York is dropping Glenn Beck's radio show as of Jan. 17.

WOR 710 AM said today it is canceling Beck's program as of Jan. 17 and replacing him with another syndicated talk show hosted by Mike Gallagher, the New York Daily News reported.

"The reason is ratings," WOR program director Scott Lakefield told the Daily News. "Somewhat to our surprise, the show wasn't getting what we wanted."
