Following the hire of Weiss, CBS News had its first high-profile exit with John Dickerson, the co-anchor of the CBS Evening News, who announced that he will leave CBS News at the end of the year. Gayle King is speaking out amid a report that she is set to depart CBS Mornings.

According to Variety, King, who's helmed CBS Mornings since 2012, may stay within the CBS family in a different capacity, possibly developing her own show.

King told the reporter, “All I can say is this: From what I’m being told inside this building…is that they want me here. They like the job I’m doing. I like the job I’m doing!”
