Gayle Kingdoesn’t have any immediate plans to leave her longtime role at CBS.
“I’m very close to [CNN head] Chris Licht. I like him very much, buton that question, ‘Me no speak English,'” she said, per anAdweekstory published on March 22. “Let’s just say I have two years left on my contract with CBS, and I have no intention of leaving CBS.”
CNN and CBS have both declined PEOPLE’s request for comment on the matter.
However, Barkley, 60, previously confirmed reports about that he has been in talks with CNN to do a show with King.
“They are trying to pair Gayle King and me,“Barkley toldThe New York Post. “We don’t have anything set in stone. I’m only considering it because of my respect for Gayle.”

King celebrated 10 years in her CBS role in January 2022. To honor the occasion, she wore the same yellow dress she has continued to wear with each anniversary.
“I’ve aged a little bit, butI always wear this dress every anniversary,” King said at the time. “And what’s funny, James, our wardrobe stylist, said, ‘I don’t mean to be disrespectful or insensitive, but are you sure you can still get in that dress?’ I said, ‘I’m gonna try, James. I’m gonna try. I can’t breathe, but I’m in the dress.’ "
“I’m just so excited that it’s my 10th anniversary, that I’m still here!” she added.
