Disney Is Selling ABC For $20 Billion, New Owner Wants The View Cancelled, “Worst Show Ever”

Breaking: Disney Is Selling ABC For $20 Billion, New Owner Wants The View Cancelled

It’s the end of an era in the broadcasting world as Disney is set to sell ABC for a mere $20 billion, a move that has not only shocked the industry but also ignited a series of debates about the future of television and, more specifically, the fate of the long-standing talk show, “The View.”

With the myriad streaming services dominating viewers’ screens and traditional TV networks grappling for a foothold, the broadcasting landscape is witnessing seismic shifts. Even then, no one saw the Disney-ABC sale coming, especially at such a staggering low price.

ABC, the American Broadcasting Company, has been a household name since its inception in 1943, offering a wide range of programming that has often defined American pop culture. So, why would Disney, which acquired ABC in 1995 in a landmark deal, part with such a historic piece of its media empire?

While Disney has not publicly detailed its reasons, insiders suggest it might be a strategic move to double down on its streaming ventures, like Disney+, as traditional network television continues to see a decline in viewership.
