And tune in every Friday at 6 p.m. for The Legislature Today, West Virginia’s only television/radio simulcast devoted to covering the state’s 60-day regular legislative session.
In addition to our weekly television broadcast, WVPB journalists will deliver news from the session daily on the network’s radio news program West Virginia Morning, and on our website wvpublic.org.
