West Virginia coverage
All 55 counties are covered. City coverage includes Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, Morgantown, and Wheeling. West Virginia's mountainous geography splits the state into many small, isolated media markets, and long-established family funeral homes remain the most reliable publication channel in the southern coalfield counties - which is where this file draws from rather than relying on statewide feeds.
