News anchor Norah O’Donnell’s salary was reportedly slashed by more than half at CBS Evening News as the struggling news program continues to make substantial budget and cost cuts, Radar has learned.
According to The Post, CBS News re-signed the 48-year-old news anchor in April for a yearly salary of $3.8 million – which is a remarkably less sum than the $8 million she was previously making to host the evening news program.
But while O’Donnell accepted the new pay package, an insider familiar with the negotiations revealed that CBS executives offered the anchor a “low ball” sum that they “expected [her] to reject” in an effort to replace her on the program as her ratings continue to plummet.

It’s a well deserved pay cut. She has made the “CBS Evening News” unwatchable. The newscast is way to saccharine for my taste. It’s all about emoting and not about thinking.
Management at CBS must be inept. Her employment contract ended in April. If they wanted to get rid of her all they had to do was not renew the contract. Why offer a contract renewal at a lower salary when time was running out on the clock?
Now she has a contract for some period of time. They still want to get rid of her because her show is not performing. Absent a miracle rebound CBS will eventually fire her and pay off the new contract. Management will look like fools at that time.
Norah will laugh all the way to the bank and enjoy her retirement.
I have a TV and didn’t know who she was either. I had to search for her on the internet and did not recognize her pictures at all. Readers of Fake News are simply irrelevant.
Have you got chee ting on your mind, oh oh,
Gee,somehow I think I’d be fairly happy at $3.5 million a year.
= = =
Only about $9600 per day.
She’s a liar …… why would anyone watch a liar ?
Re-signed the 48-year-old news anchor in April for a yearly salary of $3.8 million.
Tell me more about that glass ceiling thingy.
If you watch CBS, you’ll See BS.
