Posted on: Oct 31, 2025 06:43 IST | Posted by: Hindustantimes
Long-time host of CBS News' morning show, CBS Mornings, Gayle King, is reportedly leaving the network over an "internal dispute." Variety reported that King's contract expires in May 2026, and negotiations have reportedly fallen through, making her departure likely. But, as of now, neither Gayle nor CBS has confirmed the departure officially.
Gayle King is one of the celebrated journalists on the network, having spent over 14 years in CBS. Though her salary and contract details are not known, multiple sources estimates that her net worth is between $50 to $80 million.
Celebrity Net Worth estimates that King has a net worth of around $50 million. While, Hello! Magazine reported in May 2025 that King's net worth is $80 million.
Variety reports citing sources that the departure of King comes amidst a shift of the network's ownership to Paramount, during which several staffers have been cut off in recent times. Per the sources cited in the report, the dispute is less between King and Paramount. The network reportedly was planning to sign a new contract with King, and talks were about to ensue.
However, it fell off at the last moment, because of its ownership shifting "from the Redstones, the former controlling shareholders, to the Ellisons, who have expressed a desire to move CBS News away from content they feel tilts too hard toward the liberal," the Variety report said.
