The last week of October 2025 turned out to be difficult for the entire Paramount Global team due to its merger with Skydance Media. Layoffs and shocking departures engulfed the team, and after the report on the future of Gayle King from CBS Mornings was released, a separate report on CBS Saturday Morning with co-hosts Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson emerged, leaving viewers puzzled as to whether the show had been canceled.
Read on to find out what is happening with CBS Saturday Morning.
No, CBS Saturday Morning has not been canceled by the network, but there will be changes in the lineup, The New York Post reported on October 29, 2025. According to the publication, sources close to the situation claimed that the new chief editor of CBS News, Barry Weiss, and network president Tom Sibrowski concluded that CBS Saturday Morning was «too costly» and that Dana and Michelle should leave.
Since Michelle and Dana have not yet commented on their apparent dismissal from CBS Saturday Morning, it is unclear where the co-hosts will go next. NYP reported that Michelle and Dana were informed that they would be let go due to a «radical restructuring» of the network.
No, Gayle is not planning to leave CBS Mornings, despite a report from Variety citing multiple sources familiar with the situation that she will leave the network after her contract expires in 2026.
«I'm here and happy to be here», - Gayle explained to TMZ on October 31, 2025. «I don’t know what to tell you about it, but what I’m hearing in the building doesn’t match what I’m reading in the press, and what I’m not going to do is negotiate in the media… I’ve been told by everyone in this building that they want me to be here».
Gayle added that as far as she knows, CBS «likes the work [she does]» and continued: «I will say this: I like the work and the people I work with, so I don’t know what to tell you».
After the report was released, a representative from CBS News stated that the network had not had «any discussions» with Gayle regarding her contract.
«There have been no discussions with Gayle regarding her contract, which runs until May 2026», - the representative said. «She is a truly valuable member of CBS, and we look forward to communicating with her about the future»
