Today’s Allison Langdon is set to take a ‘hefty pay cut’ after signing on to host A Current Affair, reports claim. 

Langdon, 43, is currently said to be on a ‘premium contract’ worth $1million per year hosting the Today show alongside Karl Stefanovic for 17.5 hours a week. 

In contrast, Langdon’s rumoured new gig hosting ACA, which equates to a much smaller 2.5 hour-a-week on-air commitment will only see her earn $250,000 a year, The Daily Telegraph reports.

If Langdon decides to quit Today to make more room for her ACA role, she will be looking at a six-figure pay cut. 

Meanwhile, outgoing ACA host Tracy Grimshaw reported to have been on an annual package worth about $750,000, although The Daily Telegraph claims Allison secured a ‘better deal’ with network bosses than her predecessor.

Sources at Nine have also apparently told The Daily Telegraph that Langdon hesitated to accept the role at ACA when TV executives told her how much she’d earn.

Langdon is all but confirmed to replace Grimshaw as host of ACA, and an announcement is expected to be made by Nine next week.

Kyle Sandilands meanwhile appeared to confirm the reports in an interview with the long-running host on Wednesday. 

Speaking to Grimshaw on his KIIS FM radio show, the shock jock said he knew it was the Today show host.

Sandilands claimed he’d had a private conversation with Stefanovic, who has been asking him for advice on a potential replacement for her.

‘I feel like I know, because I’ve been speaking to Stefanovic,’ he told Grimshaw after grilling her on the topic of her replacement.

‘Well, let me just tell everyone it is Ally. I don’t mean to bust Channel Nine’s bubble.’

Sandilands said Stefanovic didn’t tell him their chat was ‘confidential’.

‘Maybe that was a personal chat? I don’t know… But he didn’t ask me not to say anything,’ he continued.

Grimshaw remained coy when pressed on the rumours as to who will be her replacement, saying every candidate for the job is ‘an exemplary person’.
