June 11, 2007 -- CALL it momentum or call it relief, but fans stayed with "The View" in the days after Rosie O'Donnell left the show.
Ratings for the morning coffee klatch during the Memorial Day week were up, according to reports.
(Prime time ratings are reported within 24 hours, but ratings for other day parts take a week or more to put together.) Rosie's final show, May 28, was taped weeks before the blow-up with Elisabeth Hasselbeck that led her to quit three weeks early.
But the Tuesday-Friday ratings for the Rosie-less rest of the week were up 12 percent from the week before and 16 percent over the same week the year before.
