The Gayle King-Starring ‘CBS Mornings’ Face All-Time Low Ratings Amid Brutal Cost-Cutting Measures

Gabby Gayle King’s CBS Mornings has posted its lowest ratings yet since the daytime broadcast’s 2021 relaunch — in what industry sources are calling the latest embarrassment for the beleaguered Tiffany Network.

CBS This Morning’s rechristened successor made its debut nearly four years ago, expanding feature reporting and live interviews in its second hour at a brand-new Times Square studio in Manhattan with veteran newsgal King, 70, helming an updated anchor team that includes Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson.

But sources wonder if the changes have alienated fans as it recently drew under 1.87 million viewers — putting the program squarely behind NBC’s Today, which notched 2.467 million, and ABC’s Good Morning America, which pulled in 2.544 million, during the same period.

Following the shocking showing, sources say the last-place program is slated to slink back to its less snazzy former home at the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street in September as the network looks to cut costs.

The Times Square spot is a revamped rental that formerly housed MTV’s Total Request Live.

According to sources, the new old digs will see the morning crew share a smaller studio with CBS Evening News, which recently moved from Washington, D.C., after anchor Norah O’Donnell left her prime-time post.

A source says the move comes as budget-conscious CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon follows a corporate mandate to slash costs ahead of parent Paramount Global’s proposed sale to Skydance Media.

King renewed her contract with CBS last year. The dollar amount and length were not publicly revealed — but sources suggest she took a cut from her previously reported annual salary of $13 million.
