The Wall Street Journal previously reported on King’s renewal of her deal with the Paramount Skydance unit. “Rumors of my demise were inaccurate and greatly exaggerated,” King said in a statement, a referral to a Variety report from October that said she had been expected to depart the program at the end of her current contract, which ends in May. At the time of the report, people familiar with negotiations said indications had been made that King would leave. Since that time, talks with King have broadened, and people familiar with discussions said options including a role as a special correspondent or a final year as host were among scenarios being considered. “CBS News is my longtime home, and I am committed to our mission. I’m excited about continuing at ‘CBS Mornings.’ As always, I’m open to new adventures here and ready to go. It took a minute, but we got there. And now that we are here, I am all in.” Related Stories Ahead of $55 Billion Go-Private Deal, Electronic Arts Leads Video Game Publishers With Most Game Downloads in 2025
