Local News Every Weekday
Strengthens Participation
It should come as no surprise that residents pay the most attention to local news during the week, aiming to leave weekends free for family and recreational pursuits.
|
This is why WHAV, on-air, online, everywhere focuses on daily delivery of the most local news. Moreover, WHAV seeks to let listeners and readers know not just about what happened, but let them know what’s coming up. In this way, residents can participate at meetings and events, discuss their views and create change rather than find out about something they missed.
