But looks like they've kept their nice lower 3rds which the ABC O&O's have on the west coast I'm glad they did... or I hope this wasn't some glitch...
This is actually a soft launch. They are debuting a 3pm newscast next Monday and the station aired a pilot episode yesterday on its 24/7 stream before the launch; maybe at that moment they will switch to the new look in full. The voice over is The View announcer Virginia Hamilton, who also works VOs for many ABC O&Os and affiliates (specially for its lifestyle shows), and has also narrated the ESPYs (another ABC/ESPN staple).
As for The View, it turned out the "new set" is just a refresh and a new desk. Worth noting ABC is finalizing its move from Lincoln Square to Disney's new NY HQ in Hudson Square (planned for next year, or 2025 at the latest). This will include all productions, including Live with Kelly and Mark, Tamron Hall and The View, plus ABC News and WABC-TV's Eyewitness News.
