If you’re not listening to 97.9 WHAV FM or its live audio streams each weekday, you’re missing exclusive answers to important questions and the latest developments right from the lips of the area’s top newsmakers.

Listeners hear happiness, hesitation, confidence or fear when they listen for themselves.

This week on “Win For Breakfast,” for example, Win Damon interviews John Macone, Merrimack River Watershed Council; Haverhill Mayor James J. Fiorentini; state Sen. Diana DiZoglio; and Ginny Salem, Northern Essex Elder Transport, among others.

Those who can’t make time to listen or decide to choose ignorance often later complain the new apartment complex or factory was “sneaked in under cover of darkness.” The truth, of course, is WHAV provided ample and thorough coverage of the event on the radio. In fact, WHAV provides more local news, more news that matters and more often than all other sources combined.
