Gayle King's CBS Deal: Shorter Than Expected

0:00On April 21, Gail King's latest CBS deal is making waves, and it's shorter than expected. Sources say she signed just a one-year contract, putting her long-term spot at the network in question after earlier promises of stability.

Now folks are buzzing about her role on CBS Mornings, which insiders call shaky at best. They hint she might slide into a setup like Noro Donnells, anchoring evenings before going senior correspondent. King pushed back with a statement full of commitment to CBS News and the Morning Show.
