But Sean McManus, president of CBS News and Sports, tells The Politico, “I have not had any thought to change Katie’s role, Katie’s salary, anything to do with it.”
Still, Couric makes a hefty salary — more than $14 million a year, so with looming CBS layoffs in the works, rumor has it that CBS boss Les Moonves is mulling over scaling it back. According to the Drudge Report, network insiders say that resentment has been building in the newsroom with one veteran producer noting, “She makes enough to pay 200 news reporters $75,000 a year! It’s complete insanity. We report with great enthusiasm how much bankers are making, how it is out of step with reality during a recession. Well, look at Katie!”
Insiders suggest that Couric would face the salary slash when her contract expires next year
