While Katie Couric may settle for a pay cut at CBS News, as Page Six reported in September, industry insiders are buzzing that “Today” fixture Matt Lauer will flex his star power with NBC when he renegotiates his contract in 2012. Sources say Lauer, who will sit firmly in the anchor chair covering the Olympics and the presidential election, will likely ask for a salary raise as well as a four-day workweek, like his co-host, Meredith Vieira. But an NBC insider said, “This is completely untrue. Matt Lauer is not in contract negotiations.” An NBC rep said, “We do not comment on contracts.”
