Give her a Greyhound Bus ticket back to where she spawned.
Me too, and I still don’t care.
It’s hard for me to convey how little I give a crap about CBS staffers.
Without Oprah Gayle King would be nothing but another average pundit.
Charlie Rose will work for cheap .
And she wont be happy until she is as rich as Orca Winfrey
I thought it was a singer :)
I don’t PRIDE myself on not knowing these things in some sleek cliche way of showing how non chalant and above it all I am :)
Though come to think of it that sounds pretty cool :)
I JUST DON’T KNOW these people.
Perhaps I have become too out of touch.
I worked on the news desk at the local Westinghouse TV station when Oprah was a reporter. Gayle King was a videotape editor who sat in a booth right behind me. Very nice and very quiet lady.
She is worth 10 times that amount. Go for it babe!
She was a dud, early on TV at WFSB, Connecticut. Dreadful to watch.....then she fell into the O pot of jam. Lifeless. Dumb. Lacking talent and brain cells.
What was Oprah like?
Very young. Very bright. Always eating. Very uppity.
“I had to read the article to see who she was.”
Same here. The only time I tune into CBS is like today when the Masters in on that channel. Rarely the local news and that is it.
Morning tv isn’t your friend if you desire to maintain a high IQ.
You get paid what you’re worth, and she hasn’t proven to be worth much.
If she were worth it, she would be pulling in the big audiences, and the big audiences would be pulling in the big advertising money, and she would be pulling in a bigger contract deal.
Name recognition is not how one determines a person’s worth. In TV and radio, ratings (big audiences) is what determines the value of a person.
Gayle King might have been a pauper if she hadn’t hung around Oprah. I don’t see any talent on just being a leech.
Who?
This is a simple business decision. Any well run business has a backup identified for key people dealing with customers or the public.
The CEO should be asking, “If she leaves, and the replacement takes over, will we lose audience and/or advertisers. If so, how much?
If we pay her more how is she going to generate an incremental return on our investment? If no increase, why not?
If she leaves, where is she likely to go and why?
Can we use her departure to steal someone better from our competitors?
The CEO then tells the responsible executive to make the decision that results in a larger audience, higher profit, and more than pays back any increased spending. If the executive is any good, he already has a plan to do that.
Good CEO’s don’t let employees hold them hostage. A great company will churn along without missing a beat if anyone walks out the door. If CBS has good management, Ms. King may be about to learn a business lesson.
Still haven’t heard of her. And who is CBS - the Communist Broadcasting System.
I was in Vietnam. I remember their treason and corruption (eh Morley).
