I always like when something changes, like when a network change their bug/logo, well The View is getting a new set:

''IT’S A WHOLE NEW YEAR AND A SPECTACULAR NEW VIEW”

ABC Daytime’s “The View” to Unveil a New Set on March 3

ABC Daytime’s popular talk and entertainment program, “The View,” will undergo major construction this month in preparation for a new set to be unveiled on air March 3. The announcement
was made this morning on “The View.”
While the show is filming on location in Los Angeles (Feb. 17-26), show designer Bill Mickley and his team will be working diligently on the installation process and applying the finishing touches.
The new look, a collaborative effort between Mickley and noted Los Angeles-based designer Rene Lagler, has been described as a move from the show’s current downtown loft to an uptown brownstone.
The new furnishings, which enhance a warm, inviting conversational setting, will be provided courtesy of Ethan Allen, Inc.
Beginning today and continuing until “The View” departs for Los Angeles, a different portion of the set will be dismantled and removed from the stage. On Friday, Feb. 14, one final “signature” item will be taken away.
March 3 also marks the launch of a new website for “The View”
(http://www.abc.go.com/theview) to coincide with the show’s new appearance.
Barbara Walters, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones and Joy Behar are the dynamic team of women who share their daily, no-holds-barred opinions and colorful conversations. The unmatched chemistry of the four co-hosts is the original forum where real women discuss relevant, everyday issues.
“The View,” ABC Daytime’s morning chatfest, features a team of four dynamic women of different ages, experiences and backgrounds discussing the most exciting events of the day. Broadcast live Monday through Friday (11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon, ET; CLOSED-CAPTIONED; broadcast in stereo; TV-14) from New York City, the program is currently airing in 98.07% of the country and celebrated its 1000th show in Nov, 2001.
Ethan Allen, Inc., a leading manufacturer and retailer of quality home furnishings, sells a full range of products through an exclusive network of more than 300 stores. Stores are located in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and there are 19 overseas. The company has 17 manufacturing facilities and three sawmills throughout the United States.

“The View” has earned numerous Daytime Emmy Award nominations since its launch, including five consecutive nominations for Outstanding Daytime Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host. The show has also received 14 Daytime Emmy Awards, the Gracie Award from the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television, two Prism Commendations presented by the Entertainment Industries Council & National Institute on Drug Abuse, the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Talk Show, the Los Angeles Daily News Reader’s Choice Award for Best Morning Talk Show, the Good Housekeeping Great Works Award, and was also voted “Favorite Talk Show” by Viewers Voice, Inc., a non-profit organization that supports television programming.
In March, 2002, “The View” broadcast “After Party at ‘The View,’” the program’s first live Late-Night special following the Academy Awards™.“
“The View” is produced by ABC Daytime and Ms. Walters’ Barwall Productions, with Ms. Walters serving as executive producer along with Bill Geddie, who also serves as executive producer for
“The Barbara Walters Specials.”

Cool, I'll tune-in just to see the new set. I personally don't like the show- it's probably because I'm a guy- or because it goes against "Good Day Live."
