WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – Fox Ohio Valley will carry a live broadcast of Saturday afternoon’s West Liberty University Television production of the men’s basketball game between the unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Hilltoppers and Ohio County rival Wheeling Jesuit from the ASRC.
This marks the first time a WLTV-14 television production has been picked up for a live showing to a broader television audience. Fox Ohio Valley reaches 134,000 households and more than a quarter-million adults aged 18-over throughout the tri-state area.
