When I turn on the radio occasionally, I hear advertisements saying that something is going to happen on 'twenty January' - I think they find it difficult to get actors who can pronounce the 'th', so they just give up and leave it out. Actors who can speak properly are, no doubt, much more expensive, so you can understand them going for the cheaper option.
