Audience doesn't miss Rosie that much.

Entertainment: The View ratings are still up without Rosie.

Maybe they don’t miss Rosie so much after all.

The ratings boost that Rosie O’Donnell had helped to give “The View” during her nine months as a co-host has not subsided in her absence, at least not thus far.

During the weeks of June 4 and June 11 — the first full weeks since Ms. O’Donnell left the morning talk show on ABC — it drew an average of 3.4 million viewers a day, an increase of about 16 percent, or nearly a half-million viewers, over the comparable two weeks a year ago, according to estimates provided yesterday by Nielsen Media Research. From September until late April, when Ms. O’Donnell announced her intention to leave, the show’s ratings were up about 17 percent when compared with the same period a year earlier.
