‘One Life’ Mid-July Casting Notes

“The View” will honor its 25th season with appearances by past co-hosts and the show will also feature a rotation of conservative guest co-hosts; first celebrity guests revealed as the co-hosts return to their NYC studio.

Get ready for the ultimate soap star reunion when veterans of ABC Daytime’s “All My Children,” “General Hospital” and “One Life to Live” come together for a special one-night Broadway event to support those impacted by COVID-19.

Meghan McCain is heading back to “The View” when the show returns with all-new episodes beginning Monday, January 4 on ABC.

“Pandemic: What You Need to Know” jumpstarts temporary timeslot to multiple highs, leads network siblings in demos.

Since the start of the 2018-19 season in September, ABC’s “The View” has ranked fourth among all broadcast, syndicated talk and news programs.

Although the two do not compete head-to-head, ABC’s “The View” continues to outperform CBS’ “The Talk” in Total Viewers, Women 18-49 and Women 25-54.

ABC has renewed “The View” for an epic 20th season, and Candi Carter has officially been named executive producer of the daytime talker, effective immediately.

After reporting how daytime stacks up when looking at the Adults 18-49 demo as used by primetime advertisers, one has to wonder what daytime looks like in the actual key sales demo of Women 18-49 when it comes to the season-to-date rankings. What’s surprising is how poorly “The View” does overall, and how well “General Hospital” is actually doing when factoring in the Live+7* numbers vs. the traditionally reported Live+SD** numbers seen here on Soap Opera Network each week.

With ABC becoming full owner of “The View,” after buying out Barbara Walters‘ stake over the summer, the network announced today that the daytime talker will now fall under the purview of ABC News after more than 17 years under the entertainment division, this despite a drastic makeover this fall with the inclusion of three new hosts joining Whoopi Goldberg on the panel. With the talk show now falling under the umbrella of the news division, “General Hospital” and “The Chew” remain the only entertainment programming airing during the daytime on the network.

With the launch of its 18th season during the week of September 15-19, 2014, and the debut of new co-hosts Rosie Perez and Nicole Wallace, and the return of Rosie O’Donnell to the table, ABC’s “The View” attracted its largest premiere week ratings in three years (3.4 million), to qualify as the week’s most watched broadcast talk show, while also posting year-to-year growth of 13% in viewers compared to the 17th season premiere last season (3.0 million).
