Gayle King is reportedly primed to sign a new, $12million deal with CBS
Gayle King is in talks to re-sign with CBS for a reported new salary of $12million - more than double what she is currently making.
The anchor is said to be being courted by network bosses over the new deal.
According to sources cited by Page Six, she is eager to ensure that CBS This Morning, the show which she is an anchor of, remains competitive under the leadership of new network president Susan Zirinsky.
King was universally praised for her exclusive interview with embattled singer R. Kelly earlier this month which was the show's largest coup for months.
Despite the widespread press it received, the interview did not boost ratings.
It is unclear if King is fielding any other offers but the network is reportedly revolving the rest of its agenda around her.
Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Times cited two sources who said she was pushing for a higher salary which would put her in the same ball park as ABC and NBC's morning hosts.
Norah O’Donnell, King's co-host on This Morning who is being primed to replace Jeff Glor on CBS Evening News, cannot finalize her deal until King signs, according to show insiders.
CBS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

According to production sources, King's decision will dictate where the rest of the talent goes. Her This Morning co-host Norah O'Donnell was being primed for a spot on CBS Evening News but has not signed that deal and will not until King makes her This Morning contract final. The pair are shown with Charlie Rose, the former CBS This Morning host who left the network in 2017 amid sexual misconduct allegations
One of King's sticking points, it is reported, is Susan Zirinsky, the new network president who took the reins in March, just as the veteran anchor's contract was coming to an end.
CBS has struggled to regain viewers after the departure of Charlie Rose, who founded the show with King in 2012, amid a string of sexual misconduct allegations.
King earns less than her counterparts at NBC and ABC.
Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, who anchor the Today show, both earn a reported $7million - a fraction of their disgraced predecessor Matt Lauer who was said to be pulling in between $20million and $25million a year.
Robin Roberts, the face of Good Morning America, earns a reported $18million.
The show leads in the ratings.
NBC bet big on Megyn Kelly to lure her from Fox in 2017, giving her a three year $69million contract.
She left the network in October after making controversial remarks about blackface.
King's new salary would put her closer on a par with her counterparts at rival networks. ABC's Robin Roberts (left) earns $18million and Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie (right) both earn a reported $7million at NBC

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
