“CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King signed a new deal with CBS News, according to people familiar with the matter, securing a high-profile network talent during a dramatic shake-up of the news organization. 

King’s decision to stay with CBS News provides some on-air stability after longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Anderson Cooper announced last month he would be leaving that show after the current season and “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil was elevated to anchor of the network’s “Evening News” program earlier this winter. 

King’s current contract runs through May. It is worth roughly $15 million, according to a person familiar with the matter. Terms of her new deal weren’t disclosed.
