Page Six reports that King "demanded" that O'Donnell exit the CBS morning news show, a demand that came from her ongoing contract negotiations. The new CBS This Morning lineup is expected to consist of co-anchor Anthony Mason and CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil, Page Six reports. CBS This Morning co-anchor John Dickerson is moving to 60 Minutes. O'Donnell is expected to take over for Jeff Glor as CBS Evening News anchor, while also assuming the role of chief political anchor. Glor is expected to become a CBS News correspondent and weekend anchor. Page Six's sources blame O'Donnell for "feeding" rumors of Glor's impending exit and claim that she is seeking “Gayle King money" as part of her own contract negotiations. UPDATE: Variety is also reporting a CBS This Morning revamp with Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil.
