CBS SUNDAY MORNING
CBS, 9:00 a.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: Today’s edition of CBS Sunday Morning, which launches Season 40 for the reliably excellent Sunday news series, includes a report, and a reporter, you should make a special effort to watch. The reporter is pioneering news figure Ted Koppel, and the subject of his report is equally pioneering TV visionary and mogul Ted Turner, creator of TBS, CNN, TCM and more. Turner now lives pretty much in seclusion on his huge ranch near Bozeman, Montana, and he tells Koppel about his progressive brain disorder, his past – and his opinion, past and present, on CNN. Turner always was one of the most enjoyable and plain-spoken people I ever interviewed on the TV beat, and Koppel was another.
