Gayle King to Stay With 'CBS Mornings'
Variety • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Gayle King has signed a new deal to remain with "CBS Mornings" beyond her current contract ending in May, dispelling rumors of her departure and expressing commitment to CBS News and the morning show.
- King's decision is seen as a positive development for CBS News, especially for editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who has faced scrutiny since joining the company and recently lost contributor Anderson Cooper.
- Despite King's high-profile presence, "CBS Mornings" struggles with viewership and advertising revenue, attracting significantly fewer viewers than competitors NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America," and experiencing a decline in ad spending from 2024 to 2025.
- The upcoming corporate merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery
