After over ten years of anchoring “CBS Mornings,” Gayle King is reportedly preparing to leave the show.

According to insiders cited by Variety, King plans to depart once her current contract concludes in May 2026.

However, this may not mark her complete exit from CBS. The 70-year-old is speculated to assume a new position within the network, which is undergoing significant changes following Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media.

Variety also suggests that King might secure a deal to create her own content for CBS, akin to Norah O’Donnell’s transition. O’Donnell, who previously led “CBS Evening News,” resigned from her anchor role in January and now serves as a senior correspondent for “CBS News.”

In response to these reports, a CBS News spokesperson informed Page Six, “There have been no discussions with Gayle about her contract that runs through May 2026. She’s a truly valued part of CBS, and we look forward to engaging with her about the future.”

A rep for King did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

A source told Page Six that nothing has been set at all and King has made no plans yet. Another insider claimed King has “very different politics” from CBS News new editor in chief, Bari Weiss, who has already made several radical changes to the organization.

As Page Six previously reported in May, King signed a one-year contract extension that would keep her as the face of the morning show until next summer.

Prior to the report, King had already taken a pay cut down from $13 million to $10 million.

King joins the likes of “CBS Saturday Morning,” which was reportedly set as the first major casualty of the pending cuts coming to CBS News, according to The Post.

Sources close to the situation claim the 28-year-old show is now scheduled to undergo a total revamp by Weiss and the network’s president Tom Cibrowski.

Insiders also revealed that co-anchors Michelle Miller, Dana Jacobson and the show’s executive producer Brian Applegate have been notified of these changes and are on their way out.

The changes come after it was announced that CBS had axed its signature late-night program, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” which will end in May, and will be saying goodbye to “CBS Evening News” anchor John Dickerson.
