Complete Headline: EXCLUSIVE: The beginning of the end for Rosie and Whoopi as ABC considers abandoning The View and extending Good Morning America as infighting grows and ratings plunge

The View is dimming at the show that Barbara Walters built.

Network insiders tell Daily Mail Online that the long-running talk show could end after this season, amid struggling ratings and infighting among the talk show hosts.

Currently in its eighteenth season, the show created by retired TV journalist Barbara Walters is suffering some of its lowest ratings ever with its new team of Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez.

Now under the umbrella of ABC News, the network is considering the possibility of ending the show and replacing it with an extended version of 'Good Morning America.'

'The brass at ABC feels like they've tried to do everything possible to breathe new life into this show,' said the insider. They moved it from ABC Entertainment Daytime to the ABC News division, that was having so much success with Good Morning America.

But in spite of the changes, nothing seems to be helping the sluggish ratings for the show.

'They're ready to abandon ship at this point,' the source told Daily Mail Online.

Daytime talk shows SUCK, watch the openings announcing the stars the audience go crazy, cheering, hooting and hollering like these celebs just cured cancer. Then they talk about show biz/leftist garbage or new make up secrets.
Sports talk isn’t much better.

Yesterday at the gym, I got on a treadmill that has its own TV screen. The TV power switch was stuck in the “on” position, and the channel was stuck on ABC. Just my luck, it was time for “The View”, and the segment featured numerous closeups of Rosie O’Donnell.

I moved to another treadmill at the end of the row.

I would be shocked if they didn’t keep this propaganda mechanism going through 2016 to assist Mrs Der Schlickmeister.

Obviously, they’ll be welcomed with open arms to PBS.

So much for peace and tolerance.

I guess they decided to ban “bossy” from being in the workplace after all.

The View is still on? How about that. Around here it is known as The Vacuum one more place on TV that has to have guests to raise the IQ of the program to equal room temperature.

“... and now you poor Freepers will have nothing to watch!”

I wired my tv’s rabbit ears directly to the aluminum exterior of my mobile home, thereby increasing the size of the antenna. Much better than tinfoil.

Now I can pickup up the Jerry Springer Show...so, I’m happy.

I’ve never seen that show. Judging from the picture, the producers want the viewers to catch a good glimpse of the “view” of the womens’ legs.

Obviously that’s all they have to offer, since they are a bunch of neuron-challenged big-smile airheads.

It has always been one of the worst shows ABC ever produced.

A bunch of Left-Liberal hags with a token Conservative sitting around selling a Left-Liberal political agenda to a Left-Liberal dominant audience of women with too much time on their hands during the day.

'The brass at ABC feels like they've tried to do everything possible to breathe new life into this show,'...

...except the obvious: replacing all the abhorrent nasties with polar opposites.

When will they ever understand? It’s not the show, it’s the hosts! Just like talk radio, the listeners would not support liberal hosts, but listeners flock to conservative hosts! If they had a conservative leaning show, they might actually get some viewers and ratings!

Viewers absolutely hate Rosie and Whoopsie!
