‘The View’ What To Know About New Weekend Edition
If fans love seeing The View panelists, they are in for a treat with the latest announcement. In addition to its normal schedule, The View will be showing a new segment on the weekends. ABC has announced it will expand its reach by adding a new “Weekend Edition” to its broadcast each week.
The View Is Branching Out
Undoubtedly, The View fans can get excited as ABC plans to roll out another segment to keep people up to date on news from the panelists. It will include some of the fans’ favorite aspects from projects Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro are already working on. For instance, it is boosting the reach of Hot Topics and Behind The Table. So buckle up, if you can’t get enough of the discussions, The Weekend View has more to give starting January 11.
What To Know About The Weekend View
Notably, The Weekend View is a lighter more relaxed version of The View. Since it will air on Saturday and Sunday, it essentially will let its hair down a bit. Instead of focusing primarily on politics, the weekend segment is giving fans clips from the podcast, Behind The Table, which frequently offers pop culture stories shared by the hosts. It is a prerecorded 30-minute session, that the Friday crew will tape following The View, then air on Saturdays and Sundays. Generally, Friday’s panel includes Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro.
In the promo for the new addition to the family, Sara Haines says, “Come back to the table for a deeper dive into the buzziest celeb and pop culture news. All the topics trending at the top of your social media feed and the week’s most candid controversial moments from The View’s Behind The Table podcast with Brian.”
What The View Fans Can Expect
According to Senior Vice President of Digital Media, ABC News Group, and Disney Entertainment Networks, Karin Gilford, it is a more modern take on the show. She said, “It’s an opportunity for us to extend the conversation, give viewers more of what they love from the connection they feel for the show.” Then, she adds, “We really think Weekend View, in addition to what we’ve done on podcasting — we’ve always had a great short form and social presence for the show — is kind of the next frontier.” Additionally, she lets fans know what they can expect. She adds, “They’re still covering all the stories of the week but in a little bit of a different tone.” Using the same show format, she also shares, “We’ll cover the hot topics, but it will lean a little bit more into pop culture on the weekends.”
Where To Watch
The Weekend View will premiere at 7:30/6:30c on Saturdays starting January 11 and 9:30/8:30c on Sundays. To catch the new addition watch ABC News Live on Disney+, Hulu, YouTube, and ABCNews.com. Or check them out on the ABC News and ABC News Live apps.
Karin Gilford also says there are more options on their way. She adds, “We’re going to start in streaming, but we’re looking at the ecosystem.”Furthermore, she says, “Looking at what’s the right strategy for putting it on VOD, which platforms. And how we take these things and atomize them smartly onto social, based on user demand. You’re going to see a lot more of that from us next year.”
