The ABC daytime talk show drew 2.518 million total viewers during its first week of Season 30, according to preliminary ratings data.
• The audience was 8 percent larger than the show’s premiere-week viewership last year.
• The result marks the program’s biggest season-opening audience since 2020.
• The ratings arrive as The View faces heightened attention from the Federal Communications Commission under President Donald Trump’s administration.
• The show remains a prominent platform for political debate, cultural commentary and interviews, helping sustain interest among both daytime television viewers and news audiences.
The early-season performance offers a strong start for the long-running program, which has continued to attract viewers despite intense political scrutiny and a changing daytime television landscape. Further ratings data will show whether the initial surge continues in the weeks ahead.
