Gayle King renews deal with CBS News
(CNN, KYMA) - Gayle King has renewed her contract with CBS News, a spokesperson has confirmed, ending speculation about her exit.
King said, in a statement, "CBS News is my longtime home, and I am committed to our mission.”
It comes as CBS News has new leadership.
According to people familiar with the matter, Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss has been brainstorming ways to reinvigorate the morning show.
Weiss told the Wall Street Journal that King and CBS will work together on "new, enterprising projects that bring her talents to new audiences."
CBS News is a unit of Paramount, which has struck a deal to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, including CNN.
If approved, the deal could mean a potential merger of CNN and CBS News sometime in the future.
