Reports: Couric May Be Forced to Take Pay Cut; CBS Denies Drudge Report, NY Post, TVNewser

CBS News has been making cuts to save the bottom line and even Katie Couric make be forced to take a salary reduction, reports the Drudge Report and the New York Post

Insiders are reportedly ticked off that Couric is making $300,000 a week. One disgruntled producer was quoted by Drudge as saying, "She makes enough to pay 200 news reporters $75,000 a year! It's complete insanity."

CBS News and Sports president Sean McManus denied the report, however, telling TVNewser, "There hasn't been one single discussion about altering Katie's role or adjusting her contract ... Not one single discussion with anyone involved in the decision-making process."

Reportedly, Couric currently makes $14 million a year for her anchor duties on the CBS Evening News and contributing to "60 Minutes."
