'Nobody Wants To Deal With Her': Norah O’Donnell’s Salary CUT By More Than Half At Struggling ‘CBS Evening News’
Radar On Line ^ | 6/3/22 | Connor Surmonte

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.

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.

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.

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.
