Charleston: Communications

Newspapers and Magazines

Charleston's two daily newspapers are the Charleston Daily Mail (evening) and the Charleston Gazette (morning). On Sundays they combine efforts to produce the Sunday Gazette-Mail. Several magazines—most of them special-interest publications aimed at readers in the fields of business and health care—are also published in the city. Wonderful West Virginia is published monthly by the state Department of Natural Resources.

Television and Radio

Cable television is available in Charleston, as are several television stations broadcasting from neighboring towns in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio, providing viewers with a full range of options. Ten radio stations offer Charleston listeners a variety of formats, including country/western, talk radio, sports, adult contemporary, and public radio.
