Mainstream media garbage!!!

Such a dump of an app!!! Supposed to be a Hagerstown station but trying so hard to be DC trash. Deleting app!!!

Latest update looses WV news

The latest update is a drastic change that removes most of WV news. News is nuch harder to find and read. I will be removing this app!

love it!

my family and i love this channel! they always try and do their best. the quality is consistent. very responsive, helpful, and calm on the information phone line when we have called about technical difficulties. you can tell the reporters work very hard. overall great local news.

Best news in 4 state area

Panhandle residents seem to be in another world from the rest of WV, but we can depend on getting the news from DVM that affects us. You can learn what is happening in the area, nation, and the world.
