The return of Season 27 of The View brought a mixed wave of excitement and frustration for fans of the well-known morning talk show.

Fans and followers in the comments section of the recent post warmly greeted the hosts, expressing their appreciation about the new upcoming Season 27. However, amid the excitement, some fans took the opportunity to voice their frustration over a major schedule change that has interrupted their viewing experience.
As per The Sun sources, One follower commented, "Can't watch you live because Disney pulled ABC from Spectrum, but watched yesterday's show on Hulu today! Great show! Welcome back!" Another follower complained, "Spectrum Cable in NYC has blocked all Disney Channels. Therefore, I can no longer view anything on WABC 7." As per The Verge, Disney blocked access to its channels, including ABC, for Charter’s Spectrum service which has nearly 15 million subscribers. Charter reportedly said that Disney is “demanding an excessive increase” in fees and wants to force customers to “pay for channels you may not want.”
