In a groundbreaking shift for daytime television, ABC has announced that conservative commentator Candace Owens will helm a new morning show, set to replace the long-running and often controversial “The View.” The network has reportedly signed Owens to a $25 million deal, signaling a significant change in its programming strategy.

ABC’s decision to bring Candace Owens into the fold is part of a broader effort to diversify its programming and appeal to a wider audience. The new show, tentatively titled “Candace & Co.,” is expected to feature a mix of news, interviews, and discussions on current events from a distinctly conservative perspective. This marks a departure from the more liberal-leaning “The View,” which has been a staple of ABC’s daytime lineup for over two decades.

Emily Watts, ABC’s head of programming, expressed her enthusiasm for the new direction in a recent statement: “Candace Owens brings a fresh and dynamic voice to daytime television. Her ability to engage in thought-provoking discussions and address critical issues makes her the perfect choice for our new morning show. We believe ‘Candace & Co.’ will offer viewers a unique perspective that has been missing from our current lineup

Candace Owens, known for her outspoken conservative views and willingness to tackle controversial topics, is eager to take on this new challenge. In a statement, she shared her excitement: “I am thrilled to be joining ABC for this new venture. ‘Candace & Co.’ will be a platform where we can have open and honest conversations about the issues that matter most to Americans. I’m looking forward to bringing a fresh perspective to daytime TV and engaging with viewers across the country
