Don’t Forget Your WHAV News ‘Subscription’
During December, nonprofit WHAV asks for your help.
|
Most people (company offices too) are already paying for what some loosely call news. Sometimes, it’s a newspaper or magazine subscription and, in many cases, a cable TV bill with part of the fee going to one of those national channels. WHAV asks you to also support Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service. After all, WHAV is first with the most talked about local news.
