WV MetroNews is a West Virginia statewide radio news and talk network owned by WVRC Media, whose controlling family, the Raeses, have a long record of Republican political activity. It distributes news, talk, and sports programming to more than 60 affiliate stations covering all 55 counties in the state. Since its flagship talk host retired in late 2024, its programming has drawn listener descriptions of a more openly pro-Trump orientation, consistent with the outlet's conservative-leaning ownership.
Owned byWVRC Media (formerly West Virginia Radio Corporation), controlled by the Raese family through Greer Industries; John Raese, a Republican businessman and perennial Republican candidate for Senate and governor, serves as chairman of the board
