  • HI GM WV

    Can you please have on Paul and Sasha from the satirical news show "Community News by Paul and Sasha."

    They do a show about suburban CT that is hilarious and they used to be Network news and talk TV show producers and your real WV news and their funny take on the small town CT news would be so smart and interesting to hear together.

    I like your show and I've never been to WV, only Virginia! Your show is a good way to get the local vibe there. Thanks.
