One of the big guns at CBS News could be heading to Mount Airy soon for a special report by the television network on this city’s Mayberry connection and its identification with recent national events.
This concerns a project involving longtime correspondent Ted Koppel which has been in the works for months.
It is targeted for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” a news magazine program on the air for more than 40 years.
Dustin Stephens, a producer for that show, said in January that its focus on “Mayberry” is part of the TV network’s ongoing coverage of a unique period for the nation.
