It may have been a while since we have seen Gayle King on television in these parts, (some pictures of her through her years when she was a tv anchor here at CBS affiliate WFSB) but to Connecticut she is still one of our favorite local stars.
And now it is apparently official. King, also known as Oprah's BFF, is hitting the really big morning show time, teaming up with Charlie Rose as co-anchor of "The Early Show" on CBS.
This from the New York Times:
"Coming soon to CBS: Charlie Rose, Gayle King and a complete makeover of "The Early Show," the network's low-rated morning television show.
Starting sometime early next year, Mr. Rose, Ms. King and other new hires will join two of the current co-hosts, Erica Hill and Jeff Glor, on a new set that is being built on the West Side. More than half a dozen CBS staff members described the plan on the condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to discuss it publicly yet.
CBS declined to comment on the record about the impending changes."
You go Gayle! Connecticut can't wait!
