For 18 seasons, “The View” has been one of the crown jewels of ABC Daytime programming block. But in a significant restructuring that could foreshadow the management style of incoming president Ben Sherwood, ABC’s daytime executives are losing oversight of the show, Variety has learned.
Starting today, “The View” will be part of the non-fiction branch of programming within ABC News, which produces the documentary series “NY Med.” The talk show will now be in the growing portfolio of ABC News president James Goldston, Sherwood’s right-hand man who helped revamp “Good Morning America.”
“Moving ‘The View’ to our non-fiction programming group now allows it to fully draw on the vast resources of ABC News and our team in New York, where the show is based right next door,” Goldston says in a memo Variety obtained from the network that will circulate to staffers on Thursday morning. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with this terrific team.”

LOL. I had to LOL at them moving The View to the non fiction side of ABC. So then, all this time its been in the fiction section? Meaning that Whoopi and everybody have been spewing fiction all this time????
People who want to watch über dumb do not have to have their eyes seared and time wasted by watching the View.
They can go to the cretinsource and watch the Obamadork on the MSM Libnews at almost any time to get their dose of stupid.
And this move is due to slipping ratings? You mean that bringing back Rosie O’Donnell to provide liberal loud in your face commentary didn’t help ratings?????
I never could watch those witches around their cauldron of a table.
Buh bye.
We will know ABC is getting serious if they dump her.
Only LIV’s, and gays watch that crap.
“Starting today, “The View” will be part of the non-fiction branch of programming”
Didn’t know ABC had a non-fiction branch.
The Shrews
Does Wendy Davis have a shot at landing on The View, or is she headed straight for MSNBC?
The background poster looks like an artist’s interpretation of PMS.
The manbeast show
Christine O'Donnell
Michelle Malkin
Mary Katherine Ham
Bristol Palin
Meghan McCain (for comic relief)
I have been calling it “Cackle”.
These harridans can be used as a case that women should not be allowed to vote.
So...if you ignore the actual news, that is still non-fiction?...who knew?...
The O’Donut is a ratings disaster. ROFL.
