Ann Curry is reportedly getting at least $10 million to leave “Today,” the nation’s No. 1 morning show — an from the looks of it she’s ‘Okay to Go.’

Don’t fret just yet, Curry is still the co-host, but speculation continues to mount over who will be sitting in her anchor seat in the not too distant future.

Curry has said nothing about the gossip and NBC has not made any official comments. A call to Curry’s representative, Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, was not returned.

Earlier this year, “Today” show executive producer Jim Bell offered Curry a tepid endorsement, telling Show Tracker the network had “no plans” to replace her.

So why all the humbug?

The short answer: Ratings. “Today” was the undisputed leader in the morning-show wars since the mid-1990s. But since Curry, the former news reader, took over for Meredith Vieira a year ago, the program has been struggling to maintain a lead over its rival, ABC’s”Good Morning America.”

“Good Morning America” has pulled out weekly ratings wins over the last year.

News that Curry was being replaced broke Wednesday. A New York Times report surfaced that secret meetings had been taking place between NBC and her lawyer to push her into a different role.

Regardless of what position she ends up with, she will end up with a nice financial cushion to ease the fall. NBC signed her to  a three year deal, worth  $10 million annually when she took the co-anchor post in 2011, TMZ reported.

So Curry may or may not be gone tomorrow, but it’s a safe to say…her end is on the horizon…but you haven’t heard it from me!
