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.

She’s still overpaid by 99%.
I would have sworn “Norah O’Donnell” was a member of the SNL cast. One of the (few) drawbacks of not having a TV . . .
Whatever they’re paying her is way too much. Noisy women with big mouths are a dime a dozen.
Blame the messenger for the fake news lol replace her with another libtard and it would be no different 🤪
Gee,somehow I think I’d be fairly happy at $3.5 million a year.
They cut her salary just because she is a womyn.
Gary Puckett said it best.
Jeeze, home shopping channel gets higher ratings than that jackass.
She would have accepted $500,000. Still more than she could make elsewhere
I’d like to see the whole network go down in flames, and she sucks, but I do like that they tried to get her to quit and she called their bluff.
Can you imagine the hell on wheels she's going to be now??
what’s she saying in the pic?
They actually sell real products
They get all their news from Twitter, TikTok and Facebook so they don’t need people anyway.
For letting someone groom you to look presentable on camera then reading half-truths in a believable manner. Yeah, that’s worth $3.5 Million.
Funny, these investigative reporters who get so bent out of shape in the differences between line workers and CEOs never seem to be bothered that their high-paid newsreaders make 12-30 times the salaries of those positions in a medium TV market.
Grossly overpaid.
Just fire her.
I like the helen reddy song, “I am woman, hear me whine, nag, and complain.”
