Big Changes Are Coming to ‘The View’.
‘We’re sad to say goodbye,’ cohost Sunny Hostin admitted.
Big change is on the horizon for The View team, as it has been announced that the broadcast is closing up shop at their current filming studio.
Fans will notice a change in scenery at the start of the new season this fall, as the talk show is poised to relocate its set to a “brand new, state-of-the-art” space in a different part of New York City.
The move proves to be a huge change for the long-running TV production, as it aired from the same ABC studio in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan from its 1997 launch until 2014, when it moved to the ABC Broadcast Center, per TV Line.
The newest change was announced during the Friday, Aug. 2 episode of the chat show, when cohost Sunny Hostin announced that in addition to it being the season finale, “After 10 years and 2,143 episodes, this is the last show we’ll do from this studio.”

“We’re sad to say goodbye,” she continued, “but we are thrilled to be moving to a brand-new studio downtown—brand-new, state-of-the-art—and we will see you there in September for the premiere of Season 28!”
Giving more insight into the process, she explained, “We’ve had to, for the past couple of weeks, box up things, get rid of things… We were allotted, each host, five huuuuge cartons. I took up two, Sara [Haines] took up all five and was looking for more!”
