Just scroll down to the bottom on the article, seems like it had a decent first couple days: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/distribution/daily-mail-tv-page-six-tv-neck-and-neck-early-season/168783

Just purely speculation from my part, but it seems like The NOW will be misplaced in San Diego. I just saw a promo for Dateline yesterday, which will be airing at 3PM. On their website, their inactive RightThisMinute page has a header saying the show airs at 4PM: http://www.10news.com/entertainment/right-this-minute Wonder what's happening at KGTV.

10News weekend mornings tend to be a little boring, and I'm not sure if I would blame the talent or the just the content and the flow of the show.... in the past I would usually flip it the Dan Plante and Dave Scott show on KUSI if I wanted to spike up my Sunday morning, but even that show changed talent recently. Glad to see Neda returning to television, but will miss Rielle. From this Twitter posting, perhaps we will see a brand new weekend morning team: [MEDIA=twitter]864903825965973504[/MEDIA]

NBC will still air Sunday Night Football this fall, right? I'm guessing her newsmagazine will be premiering before/after football season or sometime before or after the Superbowl in 2018.

Exactly, if you work for CBS, you don't wanna mess with the Chen. She pretty much did the same thing on The Early Show, it was no coincidence that she was the constant during the majority of that show's run. Content wise, The View and The Talk are far different from each other. I prefer The View because they talk about current events and political affairs.

Exactly?!? What is up with that? Actually, Ive seen the monitor updated with the new pearl version of the ABC logo on the weekend newscast a little time ago, I think Preston Philips was still there, but somehow they reverted back to the older logo since then. Typical KGTV. Now what's up with this hiring freeze? The station has yet to hire a weekend anchor and weekend weather anchor person.

I'm a little relieved Candace is gone. She has gotten better over time, but you can really tell that she was out of her league when it came to political discussions. And I said it from the beginning, there was no way for her to stay long term since her family is on the other side of the country and Fuller House is taped in LA, it's quite a distance but I give her kudos to her for being able to juggle her career for the last year and a half. Raven's and Candace's exit were always part of this elaborate phasing out plan that was reported on the Daily Mail a few months ago. One can speculate that Paula is next though her role has become more of an alternate and she tends to show up when appropriate, like the day Tim Tebow showed up. Just like Candace, she hasn't really brought the right elements to the table and it has made for some jittery and awkward moments, she tries too hard to play devil's advocate and I don't really believe she really feels what she says. Sunny and Jedediah work so well with Sarah, Joy and Whoopi; it's a lineup that truly works and I kinda hope that Whoopi stays. I know she has said she is ready to move on, but it totally seems like she's enjoying herself more again after a few unstable seasons. If Whoopi does leave, I'd welcome Meredith back for sure but it also does feel like they are warming up the seat for Joy too as she is getting practice on Fridays and moderates After the View. After those two, I'm pretty much drawing a blank of other options on who would be a good moderator, I'm pretty sure the network would desire a household name or an A-lister for the fifth spot.

I would be surprised if she is there. Seems like Joy said she will be there along with Jed, Sara and Raven. Paula said she'll be part of ABC's election coverage. I'm guessing the fifth spot would go to Sunny or Candace.

Glad to see her back on a sitcom, she's so great in that medium. And then there were seven, though Paula has become more of an alternate and has said on Twitter that GMA is her primary job. Also, there's a promo announcing that The View will have a live election night special on Lifetime.

Yeah, it seemed like both Joy and Elisabeth were cut due to their political polarities that were deemed negative by focus groups. This was around the time The Talk was gaining traction and The View was sliding down in the ratings, so they decided to go fluffy for the next season, but that was obviously the wrong decision when they picked Jenny McCarthy. Barbara seemed to have a knack of making "real" reasons for why her co-hosts were leaving, especially when the media caught wind of it and she would deny what was being reported, such as the exit hoopla of Star Jones. Lisa Ling's reason of leaving was because she left to go on to host the National Geographic show on MSNBC, but I feel like she was forced out because of comments about September 11 and how that was deemed unpatriotic and un-American by focus groups and sponsors, this was around the same the Bill Maher was forced out from Politically Incorrect when he had stinging comments about September 11 as well. Joy pretty much told the public she wanted time off even though she was able to juggle her professional life pretty well and Elisabeth announced that she was going to leap into the Fox News fest even though she had limited news-journalistic experience, and her stint on Fox & Friends didn't last long. Next season, I wonder if they will give the moderator position to Joy, she performs with ease during After The View, but I wonder if the network and producers have other plans. I would love to see Meredith back, but I feel like NBC News has become her home, so I really doubt she'll go back to The View. Personally, I would be in the group that would like to see Rosie O back, but she'll most likely want to become the moderator of the show and have creative control, which created headaches a couple seasons ago. Deborah Roberts would be my safe bet since she already with ABC News and has done well as a guest co-host, I'd also add Juju Chang too as someone else who would seem good for The View. I personally believe in the media reports that Raven, Candace and Paula will eventually phased out sometime this season, it's way obvious that Sunny and Jedidiah will be sliding into their seats fulltime and they finally found the right panel chemistry, the discussions have been great this season when they are on with Sara, Joy and Whoopi.

It makes more sense now that CBS8 has been promoting Dan and Nichelle as the longest running morning anchorship team recently. A little surprising and a head scratcher for sure in this latest SD Newser development. NBC7 seems to have more stability than CW6 in terms of employment, so was he simply tired of waking up in the mornings? I like to root for underdogs, so I hope CW6 will improve for their news organization in all areas for the better, but their on-air product has been lacking and needs tinkering *AHEM stale graphics package*. Wonder if Greg Bledsoe is being lined up to take over mornings at NBC7 or someone totally new.

Just wondering if Jebediah Bila still fits into the equation for next season, she's been a frequent guest host and seems enthusiastic about being on the show on Twitter. Would love her to be on the show permanently, she actually has substantial things to say about politics and does well with other hot topics. As for the ladies leaving, they've been planting stories that Raven and Candace are going to concentrate with their acting careers. I liked Raven but the majority of the audience didn't it seems. Candace did get better after time but she still lacks the gravitas to debate the more dicey issues and I was always skeptical about her transcontinental travels long term as she's already busy as is with Fuller House and Hallmark movies. I do feel bad for Michelle, seems like she was shut down with the whole Nursegate controversy, seems like the network just honored what was left on her contract but planned to dump her anyways because of pressures from the show's advertisers, she wasn't given time to grow. In all of this, I'm surprised that the report is saying Paula is staying, the show can do better without her. Whoopi must have came to her senses, she's getting good money to host a chat fest, so why should she leave? Her temper has cooled down compared to last season as well. Joy has been the x-factor, she was supposed to be an alternate after Candace finished filming the first season of Fuller House but she showed her worth so I'm not surprised that she's had a nice homecoming. She should have never had left in the first place. Adding ABC Newsers Sonny and Sarah into the mix will certainly enhance their show. Hopefully the group will be more consistent, the playing of musical chairs the past three seasons needs to stop.

Haha That actually seems like a very realistic idea... "Oprah's Greatest Moments Countdown" on ABC, a reboot of "Merv Griffin's Crosswords by The New York Times" on CBS hosted by Paula Abdul, and a new hour of "Orange Room's Access Hollywood TODAY" on NBC recapping the latest/best celeb viral videos hosted by Billy Bush in Hollywood and in New York by already buzzed Kathie Lee and Hoda.

Not putting a double standard for conservative. Joy has said she'll back Hilary. Paula is a journalist at ABC News and will most likely stay neutral. Whoopi seems undecided but at least has communicated what she wants in a candidate. I haven't seen Michelle or Raven that much so I'm not sure where they are leaning. I don't remember Sunny or Sara backing anyone, but I don't think it would be appropriate for them since they appear on ABC News programs. I might be a little too critical of Candace, she is afterall an actress for an upcoming show and has something on the line, so she's is treading on being more neutral just like a journalist. Overall, she's gotten better, but I'm guessing it's all about gelling with the right people, and she seems better when Raven and Michelle aren't there.

Well, I would say at this point one should have some top candidates on their radar, especially if you are on an opinion show. Clearly, she has said that Trump does not appeal to her, but she doesn't really elaborate if she can back the other Republican candidates. But I guess that's the election cycle, Trump has trumped the Republican party at this point. It just doesn't seem like she's done her homework and looked at the other candidates. If Trump isn't her candidate, are there qualities that appeal to her that she can see from the others that are running? As a viewer, I expect more insight from her, but it just seems like she a deer in the headlights when it comes to anything political; Nicolle would have given more insight and substance on the Republican field. I haven't been watching this show daily, so please correct me if Candace has backed other candidates, it just seems like she's been sticking to the bullet points that she's been prepped with.

Yeah, I would have preferred Deborah over Paula had they needed someone from ABC News to join the lineup at the beginning of this season. I don't think this type of show fits Candace's (like how I predicted months ago) and Paula's (tries too hard to play devil's advocate) personalities, they seem to be a little bland. Ever since the whole viral debacle with Raven this summer, Candace has played it pretty safe. Both Paula and Candace are likable, but I don't think they have contributed much to the discussions, Candace especially seems selective on the topics; she may be religious and conservative and offers a different insight but she lacks the political knowledge needed to excel for the show...she still doesn't know which candidates she's interested in for the election. I feel like this is another transitional year for this show, the show is very lucky that FabLife tanked this season, that helped The View get renewed that's for sure. They need to find the right talent configuration (and the frequent appearances of Sunny and Sara pretty much spells out where the show is heading), IMHO The Talk currently has a better panel of hosts that seem very comfortable and close with each other.

DailyMail has been pretty accurate with reporting all things The View, so I wouldn't be that surprised if the network wants Whoopi out by next season. For me, Whoopi seems to be performing somewhat better than last season, she seems less angry but there are those occasional topics that make it seem like her opinion is the right opinion still. I feel like Michelle and Raven were initially hired to balance last year's panel (Whoopi, Rosie Perez, and Nicole), as they were able to add more youngness and fluff to the discussion, and the chemistry of all five of them really worked as evidenced by the late spring and summer showings. I just wished they gave Nicole and Rosie P. another chance to grow, both were actually grew by the end of last season. Unfortunately, ABC News dumped Nicole and Rosie P. and gave their own reasons why last season didn't work out for them. At the start of this season, it was said that Joy was going to be more of a recurring host once Candace finishes filming Fuller House, but it seems like Joy will be full-time now. The current season lacks stability and it seems like Raven and Michelle are on their way out, seems like the network will just simply honor their contract and replace them with Sonny (who was announced yesterday that she is now part of the ABC News Legal Correspondent and Analyst) and Sarah Haines (who was pretty much baptized as part of The View family yesterday). Both ladies would be an upgrade as both seem more authentic and more well rounded than Raven and Michelle were. And whatever happened to the six contributors? Weren't they supposed to fill-in once in a while. I don't think I've even Molly Simms back since last summer. If Whoopi leaves, do you think it's Joy's place to become moderator, or will the network search for someone else (O'Donnell, Meredith Vierra, or etc.)?

I wonder if Scripps will be betting big on The List, they're shopping it in syndication from the looks of it too.

Neither of them should have left but both left for greed thinking that they would be happy in greener pastures, but things didn't pan out for them. There's really no place for Sam at ABC, Ginger and Rob have been holding down the fort in the weather department. Sam could try on knocking on the doors at CBS perhaps or perhaps chill with his other morning buddy Chris Cuomo at CNN. As for Josh, it seems like he was betting that he would be Matt's successor or at least have more presence on the NBC morning program, but obviously Today is still Matt's turf and domain and the cast has decided to support each other in solidarity after that much talked about failed reboot last year; things seemed to have gone sour with Josh ever since that incident. In the NBC Sports side, Bob Costas is still going strong and I don't think he'll be retiring anytime soon; I'm a little confused as to why Josh didn't score his own program on NBCSN. I would say that Josh has more of a chance going back to the Alphabet network, but not that much since ABC is already well equipped with talent; if The View sinks even further this season, then perhaps the network could potentially consider him as some sort of talent for that alternative panel show that they are developing as a replacement for the show.

The real life ABC soap opera continues, talk about getting dragged in the mud. I agree with you @A3N , this has been a really petty fiasco that exploded without any significant reason. I just don't see the whole justification for this scandal, the cohosts were not directly mocking nurses during that particular discussion; but it just seems like people just hear what they want to hear and have decided that they would like to stay bitter. Through Facebook comments, I've read that some people have forgiven the show since they did that segment about nurses this morning, but the majority of these Mean Girls seem to have no mercy. I feel like we're experiencing a realtime case study of social media's mob lynching with this whole situation. Overall, ABC and the show should have buried the hatchet earlier on. It's obvious from a PR standpoint that the show should have invited Miss Colorado a couple days after this incident happened. It shouldn't have been that hard to book her, she just appeared on an ABC special a couple nights before and seems to have time to appear on television elsewhere. I do wonder if they tried booking her and Miss Colorado turned her back on such an idea; since this whole thing happened, she's appeared on Ellen and won money and she'll be flying to NYC to appear on the Dr. Oz show where she'll be part of a one hour nursing appreciation special. It's probably dark times at the halls of The View, you gotta wonder what the executives are thinking, is the show even salvageable after five conglomerates have decided to suspend their advertising to the show? I wonder if that replacement panel show would be ready by midseason at this point, they probably have created their backup plans by now if The View crumbles the next few months. The show does have the likes of Molly Simms, Stacey London and Sherri Shepherd waiting in the wings, but I highly doubt any of these ladies will be able to save the show at this point if they were to kick one of the main co-hosts to the curve. The only way I feel the show would heal would be if Miss Colorado actually guest hosted for a week on the table doing Hot Topics and if she also conducts segments about nurses for a week long special, then perhaps by then the show will having some grace left...but I really highly doubt that this would really happen, unless they're waiting to do this by sweeps.

Oh, I meant to say HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), hopefully Miss Colorado got some sort of consent from the patient.

For me, I don't see what the problem was either. From what I remembered from that episode, Michelle was the only lady on the panel who saw parts of the Miss America program. The narrative of that particular discussion was more about the criticism that pageants are still alive and the ladies believed that beauty pageants are an antiquated way of socially judging young ladies in general. Seems like the media took part of the soundbite and made it explode and it hit a nerve with those of the nursing profession. From what I perceive, seems like Joy did not watch the pageant but was simply questioning Miss Colorado's attire, which Joy has the right to question and I don't see how that would be seen as offensive. As for Michelle, she was questioning how different this particular talent performance was and was simply questioning if a career/profession monologue is appropriate for an entertainment program. If anything, shouldn't we be complaining to OSHA that Miss Colorado is publicly sharing private information that goes against patient confidentiality? Of course we're not, she's a pretty, innocent young lady who deserves better. #NursesUnite

I do feel like both Raven and Michelle are still sticking out and both need improvement. I wonder if the producers are prepping Michelle to insert jokes and ask the funny questions; the whole Kanye question during the Trump phone interview was unnecessary and added no value to the segment, she needs to use better judgment with using her comedian card during the right times. As for Raven, I always thought that they could have done better if they were looking for a young panelist; I don't think she's respectful and she just doesn't seem authentic when she interacts with people of different backgrounds. She was talking to Ciara today and she just seemed fake when they were talking about celibacy. Both Raven and Michelle do well with anything current about pop-culture, which seems like the main reason they hired both since Nicolle/Rosie Perez/Whoopi are of the older demographic. With all their political discussions this past week, Nicolle is sorely missed, she would have given a more tough and more articulate perspective against Trump. ABC News made a bad decision with letting her go, she was of value to the show. I see that NBC News has been utilizing her talents at various places, she was used as a "Republican Strategist" during a segment yesterday on a local NBC evening newscast. I wish her luck and would be interested to see if her role will expand on MSNBC or NBC News. Glad to see Sherri again, it's ironic that they've got ahold of Joy and Sherri again; Candace pretty much holds Elisabeth's role if you ask me, which means none of them should have gotten cut and this backtracking shows that they've realized that they made the wrong decision two years ago. Overall, Whoopi just seems too loud and too dominant and seems to shut out Paula when she tries to give out her view. I'm still waiting for Paula to come out of her shell, she needs to be more assertive but she does shy away from anything naughty and sexual that comes out from Raven/Whoopi/Michelle. It's great to see Joy back. We haven't had much of Candace and wonder if she'll actually last, I just don't see her committing to the show long-term I'm sorry to say, her family lives in the West Coast, this arrangement is so inconvenient and impractical if you ask me... ABC, just admit that cutting Elisabeth was a bad decision and invite her back...or let's bring back Nicolle! As for the set, I feel like it's a downgrade. None of the new elements complements the design of the set. I'm not into their screen background, which looks like a mess, same thing with the duratran-like screens on each side of the large television screen. Too much color going on and it looks too busy for my eyesight, I actually preferred last season's color combinations of blues and oranges. I'm also not into their two on-air logo versions that they've used for "The Political View" segments in the past week. I feel like they could have used better couches and table pieces as well.

I think the problem is the state of WNT and perhaps ABC News in general, it's not seen a serious show anymore with all the fluff and pop it has going on right now. Lester Holt just seems to have more gravitas since he is older than David, so I can understand why people would flock to his newscast. I don't know if I would really take that article too seriously, David seems to be a very nice guy on-air. You gotta be competitive in the tv news biz though, so there might be a little frustration from the halls of WNT. The commercials for the 20/20 Pope special made the program seem like a fluff piece, a program that would only be of interest to those of a religious/Catholic background, I don't think the program would have appealed to a broad audience, especially if you don't ask the Pope the tough and critical questions -- like the Church's future, which would be too touchy/controversial feature in a one-hour special anyways. The special was more of a taped townhall special, which can be quite boring as I feel like those types of programs are well edited and rehearsed. The Vatican obviously went on the safe route in order to proclaim the Pope's visit to America, they are not going to have the Pope talk openly about Church reforming.

It's very interesting and perhaps very telling that Whoopi isn't actually saying or appearing in the actual promos with the new cast. By this time last year, we had the whole cast talking well about each other and they also published a cast photo of all of them together. This year? Whoopi is missing and the full cast photo wasn't ready for media distribution. Perhaps Whoopi is just taking an extended vacation or could it be something else? Drama on The View continues? I don't know why Lifetime hasn't produced a mini-series for "The Unauthorized Story of the View" yet, there's 19 years of juicy subplots to choose from. I did notice that Whoopi has changed since she began on the show all those years ago. She used to be so much better, I feel like she may be burned out from appearing on the show. With the death of her brother and other close friends/mentors, backstage stressors, network exec nipping and her health challenges of getting older, the gig might be getting to be too much for her to handle... a combination of those elements could exhaust anyone, so I can sympathize with her, but she's hurting the show creatively. Like the whole Bill Cosby situation, she wanted to censor and avoid any reference to allegations; the whole segment with Dan Abrams teaching her about the legal issues of the case seems to be ABC News' desire to extinguish the backlash that she and the show got, seemed like she was going through the motions and was forced to perform that segment. I chuckled at this video because this seemed more like a memorial to remember Whoopi, I also found it interesting to see that there were no soundbites from Joy: I do like those social media videos though as a whole, other than seeing no Whoopi, my only other complaint is the generic background they used, it seems like they filmed their interviews at the JCPenny portrait studio. As for Rosie O'Donnell, ABC would be foolish if they don't think about recruiting her for at least limited appearances. Two words: Donald Trump. Have her appear during a segment of Hot Topics on Friday and let her speak her mind about Trump and the upcoming elections. The show would get so much buzz again if there was a media meltdown battle between her and Trump on a weekly basis. Even with her 'cray-cray' tendencies, there's no denying that Rosie O'Donnell is quite a professional in the live television realm, she's quick, witty and articulate when needed. During this past season, she performed best when Whoopi was away, she was more open and more lively. If Whoopi is leaving, they should consider giving the moderator keys to her. Meredith would be an interesting choice to come back, she's very likable and I think viewers would welcome her back with open arms. I do wonder about her contract with NBC News, I really doubt that they would let her double-dip and appear regularly/limitedly on a competitor's program, but I'm pretty sure NBC canned her show; the O&Os are already planning Harry Connick's entrance to their daytime lineup. Yeah, I liked the original 2014 theme, but I'm guessing audience polling told ABC News that the theme was old and tired. As for the set, I hope they make it more intimate and cozy, I found the white to be too sterile. In addition to a bigger table, I'm thinking that they will actually get matching chairs that Whoopi would approve to sit on. It will be very interesting to see what happens to this show in the coming weeks, it's either going to be taken out of life support or it will being getting it's last rites.
