Journalist Gayle King will soon be the cause of a bidding war between networks when her contract as an anchor for CBS Mornings ends in May, according to Page Six. The outlet reported that the 67-year-old is considering moving to the West Coast.

King’s family and bestie Oprah Winfrey live in California, and rumor has it that King wants to be closer to her family and friends out west.

However, it appears that CBS has no intention of losing their star anchor and will fight to keep King on the East Coast. King has been with CBS for ten years, and a source told Page Six they would do “everything we can to keep King.”

King earns around $9 million per year with her gig at CBS Mornings already, so whoever wins will be paying a pretty penny.

“Gayle’s contract is up at CBS in a few months and the networks are gearing up for a bidding war for the ages,” said an insider to the outlet.

The source also speculated that King could stay on the East Coast and take over for MSNBC host Rachael Maddow or team up with Hota Kotb on Today

.

“The question is, does Gayle want to carry on the morning show in New York when her whole family and best friend are on the West Coast? ABC could give her the third hour of ‘GMA’ to host from Los Angeles, or a different daytime show,” said the insider.

The journalist’s grandchild was born recently, and King posted a picture of the two’s first meeting on Instagram last Christmas.

“Followed all the protocols.,: she wrote. “Test results in! so cleared to join the group … so happy! @oprah “ain’t” playing with COVID takes no chances we all appreciate that …Swipe left it’s all about LUCA! His mom @kirbybump his dad Virgil ..his uncle @willgb3 and his auntie O.. … We all adore this child If you have a little one in the house i know you all can relate…”

King once said that she didn’t think she had the “looks” or talent to be on television.

“So it’s so ironic to me that … I’m now at CBS in our studio where Walter Cronkite used to sit. I just think that’s amazing. That’s a full-circle moment,” said King. “But I couldn’t have dreamed this.”

It would appear that King was wrong, and now several networks are about to fight over having her represent them on television every day.

Congratulations, Sis. You deserve it!
