Gayle King will remain in one of the anchor chairs alongside Charlie Rose and Norah O’Donnell on “CBS This Morning” for at least three more years after signing a new $16.5 million deal, The New York Post’s Page Six reports.
The deal will pay King $5.5 million per year.
The report quotes a source saying: “Gayle is a huge asset to the show, and her chemistry with Charlie is great. She’s here for the long term.”
CBS would not talk about the terms of the deal, but a rep confirmed that the network has a “long-term deal” with King.
The Post adds: “’CBS This Morning’ is the only morning news broadcast to show a growth in viewers, up from last year to 3.77 million viewers total, while ABC declined and NBC remained flat, according to recent Nielsen figures.”
Love that show!!
Gayle King would not have that job if not for Oprah
