ABC has reportedly decided not to renew the contracts of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar for *The View*,

signaling a significant shift for the long-running talk show.

Sources suggest that the network’s decision stems from a desire to distance itself from the “toxic” elements that have occasionally surfaced during the show’s heated political debates.

Both Goldberg and Behar have been central figures on *The View* for years, contributing to its success but also drawing controversy at times.

ABC is expected to announce plans for new co-hosts as part of an effort to refresh the program’s image.
