Who Streams The View and How to Cancel Your Subscription

If you’re frustrated with The View and want to “cancel my subscription,” the first thing to know is that you don’t pay for The View directly — you pay for a streaming service or cable plan that includes ABC, the channel that broadcasts the show. There is no standalone “View subscription” to cancel.

Quick Scoop: Who Streams The View?

The View is an ABC daytime talk show. You can watch it:

  • On traditional TV : Any cable/satellite provider that includes ABC in your local market.
  • On ABC’s own platforms :
    • ABC website and ABC app (with a participating TV provider login).
  • On live TV streaming services that carry ABC (in many areas):
    • Hulu + Live TV
    • YouTube TV
    • Sling TV (ABC availability depends on location and package)
    • DirecTV Stream
    • Fubo (in some markets)

There is no exclusive “The View” streaming service. If you’re subscribed to one of the above and want to stop watching, you cancel that service, not the show itself.

Why People Say “I Will Cancel My Subscription”

Forum discussions and comments around this phrase usually fall into a few patterns:

1. Political Frustration

Some viewers object to The View ’s political tone or specific hosts. For example:

  • In 2025, there were high-profile statements from the White House suggesting The View could be “cancelled next” after comments by Joy Behar about Donald Trump.
  • Online petitions and forum posts have historically called for ABC to cancel the show entirely.

When people say “I will cancel my subscription,” they often mean:

“I’m so annoyed with this show that I’m quitting the service that lets me watch it.”

They’re not cancelling The View itself; they’re cancelling Hulu, YouTube TV, or their cable plan.

2. Streaming Cost Fatigue

Other posts frame the issue more broadly:

  • “Do I really need all those streaming services?”
  • “I’m cutting back and will cancel my subscriptions.”

In these threads, The View is just one example of content people are dropping as they trim monthly bills.

“If we want to watch a movie we see what DVDs our local library has. We do other things more, like reading, boardgames…”

How to Actually Cancel Your Subscription

Since you can’t cancel The View directly, here’s how to remove the service that lets you watch it.

If You Use Apple (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV)

  1. Open Settings (or App Store on Mac).
  2. Tap/click your name → Subscriptions.
  3. Select the service (e.g., Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV via Apple, etc.).
  4. Tap Cancel Subscription.

If you don’t see a cancel button, it may already be canceled or billed by a different provider.

If You Use Google Play (Android)

  1. Open the Google Play app.
  2. Go to Subscriptions.
  3. Find your streaming service.
  4. Choose Cancel subscription.

If You Subscribed via the Provider’s Website

For services like:

  • Hulu : Go to hulu.com → Account → Manage Plans → Cancel.
  • YouTube TV : Go to tv.youtube.com → Settings → Membership → Cancel.
  • Sling , Fubo , DirecTV Stream : Use their account pages and look for “Cancel” or “End Subscription”.

If You Pay Through Cable/Satellite

Call your provider (e.g., Comcast/Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, Dish) and:

  • Ask to drop the specific package that includes ABC.
  • Or cancel your entire subscription if you no longer want cable at all.

Mini FAQ

Can I cancel just The View and keep the rest of my service?

No. The show is part of ABC, which is part of your overall channel lineup or streaming package. You can’t remove one show without changing packages or leaving the service.

Does ABC have its own standalone subscription I can cancel?

ABC has ABC+ (a premium add-on in some regions) and the regular ABC app/website , but even those require a TV provider in many cases. There’s no “The View-only” subscription.

What if I signed up through a friend’s account?

You don’t need to cancel anything; just stop using their login. The friend would handle any cancellation if they want. Bottom line: Nobody streams The View as a standalone product. If you’re saying “I will cancel my subscription,” you’re talking about quitting Hulu, YouTube TV, Sling, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, or your cable provider — the service that carries ABC, not the show itself.
