Disney’s unexpected sale of ABC for $20 billion has sparked concerns over the future of daytime TV, especially the potential axing of “The View.”
With streaming services on the rise, Disney appears to be refocusing on its digital ventures. Billionaire Vincent Marquez, who acquired ABC, plans to overhaul its programming, targeting “The View” for cancellation.
Marquez aims for an apolitical, entertainment-focused ABC, despite criticism that cutting “The View” could be short-sighted given its popularity. The potential cancellation has prompted fan petitions and celebrity reactions, highlighting the broader industry shift towards digital content.
