Gayle King doubled down that she has no plans to leave her post at “CBS Mornings” Friday morning.
Her response comes after a Variety report claimed the tenured news host was expected to depart the morning show when her contract expires in May of next year.
“I like the job and the people that I work with. I don’t know what to tell you,” King told TMZ Friday. “What I’m hearing in the building is not what I’m reading in the press.”
The anchor added that she had no idea if the show planned on going in a new direction if she were to exit as speculated.
“All I’ve been told by everyone is this building is that they want me here,” she said. “They like the job I’m doing. I like the job I’m doing.”
“What I’m not going to do is negotiate it in the media. Not doing that!” she added. “All I know is I am here. I am here and glad to be here.”
