On this West Virginia Morning from West Virginia Public Broadcasting, Marshall University's campus TV studio serves as a hub for a nationwide collegiate broadcasting network covering election day and issues important to first-time voters. The episode also highlights a significant decline in regional tobacco production in Kentucky, as reported by Lily Burris from WKMS, where the number of farming operations has dramatically decreased from over 100,000 to just under 1,000 due to past reform impacts from legislation signed by former President George W. Bush. The program is supported by Shepherd University and Marshall University's School of Journalism and Mass Communications and is produced by Maria Young.
