While the specifics of Gail King's situation remain unclear, industry insiders emphasize the importance of honoring those who have significantly contributed to the network’s growth. King’s role in revamping CBS's morning show and her high-profile interviews—like the exclusive with R. Kelly—have cemented her reputation as a formidable journalist with influence and connections.

Bringing back veteran anchors like Katherine Haritch has also been suggested as part of the network’s strategic reorganization.
