MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A southern West Virginia mine foreman featured in the new reality TV series “Coal” says the show that debuts March 30 lives up to its billing: It’s all real.
Jerry “Wildman” Edwards tells West Virginia Public Broadcasting “there’s nothing on this show fake. What’s on it, we done it.”
Edwards attended a preview screening of the Spike TV series in Morgantown on Wednesday. He says he didn’t allow his men to do anything unsafe or inappropriate for the benefit of the cameras, either.
The 10-episode series was shot at Cobalt Coal’s Westchester mine in McDowell County, W.Va.
