TV crews finish filming reality show at W.Va. mine

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

TV crews finish filming reality show at W.Va. mine

Post by CoolBreeze »

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Federal inspectors cited a Canadian coal company for 19 health and safety violations during the nearly three months that a Spike TV crew was filming a reality show at its southern West Virginia mine, but shooting has wrapped up with no accidents or injuries.

"Coal," shot at Cobalt Coal Corp.'s Westchester mine, is now in production and will premiere at 10 p.m. March 30. Nine subsequent one-hour episodes will air each Wednesday, Spike spokeswoman Debra Fazio said.

Ten videographers trained for 80 hours and were certified as apprentice coal miners to work underground at the McDowell County operation. They started shooting Nov. 9 and finished Jan. 21, Fazio said Monday.
