CBS News roiled by rumors, with Gayle King’s future the latest flashpoint

The network pushed back, saying there have been no discussions with King, whose contract runs through May 2026, and called her a valued part of the team. The uncertainty follows David Ellison’s takeover of Paramount and his appointment of Bari Weiss as editor in chief, which has sparked leaks about potential changes across the division.
