Gayle King Facing Salary Cut?


Two weeks ago it was reported that Gayle King's job on CBS Mornings was safe, after months of rumors that her contract would not be renewed [click here if you missed that].

Now it's being reported that Gayle is facing a HUGE pay cut...

From NY Post
CBS News’ leadership is looking to give morning host Gayle King a new special correspondent gig – with half her estimated $13 million annual salary, sources with knowledge of the matter told The Post.
The situation comes as the outlet’s editor in chief Bari Weiss has been shaking up the organization, drawing heavy scrutiny for personnel moves and editorial decisions.
Weiss and CBS News president Tom Cibrowski have been considering moving King from her current role as co-host of “CBS Mornings” to special correspondent or a position in which King does occasional reports that let her put her skill interviewing celebs to use, sources said.
Weiss respects King’s skill at landing high-profile interviewees and wants to keep her on staff, but in a different – much lower-paid – capacity, sources said.
King renews her contract every year, with her current one set to expire in May, sources said.
