‘View’ ratings down post-Rosie

In the month since Rosie O’Donnell bolted from “The View,” the ABC daytime chat fest is down an average of 232,000 viewers, a drop of 6%, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Host Barbara Walters, the show’s co-executive producer, has expressed confidence the program will retain its audience. Producers are currently looking for two new co-hosts to join the daily gabfest.
