Gayle King Confirms She's Staying at CBS Mornings

Gayle King has inked a new deal with CBS, confirming her continued role at the network after rumors of her departure circulated. She emphatically stated her commitment, saying, "CBS News is my longtime home, and I am committed to our mission." King will remain a co-anchor for CBS Mornings, continuing to work with Nate Burleson. The anchor's decision to extend her contract comes just two months before her previous agreement was set to expire.

This reaffirmation follows over a year of speculation and previous denials of her exit. King had previously told TMZ that network sources indicated they wanted her to stay and valued her work. She stressed that she would not negotiate her contract through the media. While her future on CBS Mornings is secured, it remains unclear if a third anchor will be sought following Tony's move to the flagship evening program.
