‘Consistent’ Reporting and Following
are Key to Staying Up to Date
For residents who wish to know what is happening in their child’s classroom, what caused tax bills to jump, why a vital program was cut or when that new apartment building was approved, WHAV is there with consistent coverage of local news.
|
While one may pick up on a stray item appearing elsewhere, WHAV readers and listeners know they can rely on regular, fact-based reporting from Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service.
|
Because each medium offers its own advantages and benefits, WHAV’s radio, web, email platforms together deliver the full spectrum of information. For example, 97.9 WHAV radio—on-air and streaming round-the-clock online—delivers live, weekday interviews with key newsmakers, sports scores, upcoming local games, full broadcasts of City Council and School Committee meetings, local weather and storm-related cancellations and national headlines. WHAV’s Wavelengths web and email coverage includes local news and obituaries.
|
The public, however, may have to adjust habits and make time to follow WHAV to get the most out of this coverage.
