Gayle King has signed a new deal with CBS News, extending her tenure at the network where she has co-hosted CBS Mornings, according to a source familiar with the matter.
King last renewed her contract about three years ago, as she announced on her SiriusXM show in January, 2022 that she was staying at CBS News.
King began co-hosting CBS This Morning in 2012. The show is still in overall third place in the ratings, but it has from time to time beaten rivals on specific days. She currently co-hosts with Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson.
The details of her contract renewal have not been disclosed. But it comes as Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, has been in a round of cost cutting, with a merger with Skydance Media expected to close next year. There have been cuts at the news division, and the network recently announced an overhaul of CBS Evening News. Norah O’Donnell will depart as anchor after the election, to be succeeded by John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois. Dickerson also will retain his show on CBS News Streaming, and DuBois will continue to anchor for the local CBS-owned station in New York.
