Black women are making major moves in the TV biz.
After announcing “The View” was renewed for its 20th season, ABC announced the network hired the show’s first Black female executive producer.
Candi Carter will be brought in to reboot the show, which has hit a ratings standstill since Barbara Walters’ departure in 2013, Variety reports.
The show, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, is hoping that Carter’s fresh direction will steer programming in the right direction.
Carter is an “Oprah Winfrey Show” alum and has produced for BET.
“It’s an honor to be part of the extraordinary legacy built by Barbara Walters, the exceptional, funny and smart women at the table led by Whoopi Goldberg and a terrific team behind the scenes,” Carter said. “Every day is a thrill.”
