ABC’s CEO cited declining ratings, growing viewer dissatisfaction, and ongoing controversies as the main reasons behind the decision to pull the plug on “The View.” The show, which has been a staple of daytime television since its debut in 1997, has faced increasing criticism over the years for its confrontational style and perceived bias.
“It’s finally time for us to cancel the worst show on TV,” the CEO stated in an interview. “We’ve listened to our audience, and it’s clear that ‘The View’ no longer aligns with the standards and values we strive to uphold as a network. It’s been a tough decision, but it’s the right one.”
“The View” has never shied away from controversy, with its hosts often engaging in fiery exchanges on hot-button issues. However, what once brought the show attention and high ratings has increasingly alienated viewers. Critics argue that the panel’s debates have become more about personal attacks and less about meaningful discussion, turning off both longtime fans and new audiences alike.
