(DCNF)—Gayle King is reportedly preparing to step down as co-host of CBS Mornings next year as part of a sweeping overhaul under new parent company Paramount Skydance.
King’s contract runs through May and is said to be in discussions about transitioning into a new role within the network’s news division as Paramount’s leadership reshapes the organization from the top down, according to Variety. Executives at CBS are reportedly eager to keep King under contract by offering her the opportunity to develop her own programs or specials under the network’s banner.
A CBS spokesperson, however, insisted no formal talks about her contract have taken place and said that King remains a valued part of CBS.
“There have been no discussions with Gayle about her contract that runs through May 2026. She’s a truly valued part of CBS and we look forward to engaging with her about the future,” the spokesperson told Variety.
CBS News did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

She can either go back to Mars, or hop in the sack with Oprah
If CBS News wants to restore its credibility, it needs to get rid of Gayle King and everyone else responsible for destroying its credibility.
She has a degree in psychology, so she can at least do something useful...........
Oh, good grief. A “bloodbath” ? Seriously?
Why not call it a “massacre” ? Why not call Bari Weiss, a “mass murderer,” an “executioner,” a “serial killer” ?
She can always fall back on her background as a Cosmonaut!
 
After all, she’s a certified space cadet!
She is 70 years old. Time to retire, enjoy life, and allow someone new to have an opportunity.
Next stop, The View?
The management decision is - how many good journalists can we hire for the $15M we pay her? Likewise for Fox - the staggered by sum they pay Hannity could go pretty far to bolster their team.
Good one! :-)
Walmart greeter?
 Oprah's carpet cleaner?
She’s 70. Give her a tapioca, a robe and slippers and kick her ass to the curb
