Long live the King: Gayle King signed a new deal to stay on ‘CBS Mornings’
The veteran anchor is staying put, The Wall Street Journal reports, ending months of speculation and giving CBS a measure of much-needed stability
Turns out, Gayle King isn’t going anywhere. Despite rumors over the past few months that King might be exiting “CBS Mornings,” The Wall Street Journal’s Isabella Simonetti and Joe Flint reported Wednesday that King has signed a new deal to remain co-host of the morning show.
Last year, The New York Post and others reported that King, whose contract was set to expire in May, would leave the morning show, perhaps to do something else at CBS. King slammed such rumors in a staff meeting in January.
Now comes the report that she is staying.
