Gayle King's Career in Jeopardy: CBS Mornings Co-Host Furious Over Downgrade and Potential Departure

Gayle King, co-host of CBS Mornings, is reportedly furious over a recent downgrade of her show and may be on her way out. The network has moved her show from a luxury office in Times Square to the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street, which King sees as a "final insult". This move comes as CBS's parent company, Paramount, faces a potential $28 billion acquisition by Skydance Media and is looking to cut $500 million in expenses
Key Details: - *King's Salary:* Gayle King's annual salary of $12 million may be cut, making her future at CBS uncertain - *Ratings Struggles:* The show's struggling ratings and King's recent space trip with Lauren Sanchez have been criticized for being out-of-touch and frivolous - *Potential Departure:* Sources claim King is "livid" and "done putting up with this," with her friend Oprah Winfrey potentially supporting her in exploring other options - *Network Changes:* CBS aims to attract younger viewers, which may impact King's role as a host, given her show's older demographic
