Gayle King has signed a new contract with CBS News, ending months of speculation about her future with the network. King's previous deal was set to expire in May, and reports as recently as January suggested her reported $15 million annual salary was viewed as unsustainable under new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.
"Rumors of my demise were inaccurate and greatly exaggerated," King said in a statement. "CBS News is my longtime home, and I am committed to our mission. I'm excited about continuing at CBS Mornings. As always, I'm open to new adventures here and ready to go. It took a minute, but we got there. And now that we are here, I am all in." Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. King continues to co-host CBS Mornings alongside Nate Burleson and Vladimir Duthiers.
