Bobby Burack reports:
In what would be her most aggressive programming move to date, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is considering demoting Gayle King from "CBS Mornings" and cutting her salary in half.
According to the New York Post, Weiss and CBS News president Tom Cibrowski have discussed shifting King into a special correspondent role that would include occasional reports and celebrity interviews.
"Weiss respects King’s ability to land high profile interviewees and wants to keep her on staff, but in a much lower paid capacity," the report said.
Under new leadership, CBS is looking to cut costs by reducing the salaries of its highest-paid on-air talent. King earns around $15 million per year, and her contract is set to expire later this year, per Variety. The proposed role would reportedly give her "12 months to bid farewell to viewers." [emphasis added]
Apparently, CBS can't even get its talking points straight.
