‘Report to Consumers’ Now Airs Weekdays on WHAV
Special Broadcasts From the Editors of Consumer Reports

“Report to Consumers,” a 90-second product review feature from the editors of Consumer Reports, now airs three times daily on WHAV.

Host Ernie Sprance provides money saving tips, alerts consumers to safety and health issues and offers product comparisons. “Report to Consumers” is heard on 290 radio stations across the country. The program airs at 7:45 and 11:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“Report to Consumers” well complements WHAV’s daily array of interesting and informative features. The program joins other short form shows such as “Community Spotlight,” “Business Bulletin,” “Little Known Facts” and “It’s the Law,’” said Public Affairs Director Karen McDowell. News, weather and “Seton Notes,” commentary presented by former Barbara Walters producer Tony Seton, are also broadcast daily, she said.

WHAV is heard on the Internet at WHAV.net, cable television in several area communities, mobile phones and a low-power AM radio station at 1640.

The WHAV call letters have been associated with local broadcasting since 1947. For nearly five years, the WHAV call has been heard on the Internet at WHAV.net and a number of public access cable television stations in Andover, Groveland, Haverhill and Methuen. Low-power AM radio service at 1640 and mobile phone service was also recently inaugurated. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently awarded WHAV’s current owner federal protection from service mark infringement. WHAV is one of the fastest growing Internet radio stations, ranking in the top 10 percent of all Internet radio stations.

‘Yours Truly Johnny Dollar’ Joins Sunday Night Lineup May 30
Hear ‘America’s Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator’

Johnny Dollar was the last of radio’s great detectives. His role was unusual in that he was a freelance insurance investigator based in Hartford, Conn. He traveled the country – sometimes the world – after being hired by insurance companies to guard against paying false claims. Besides earning commissions on what he saved his clients, Dollar was known for lavishly living on his “action packed expense account.” At the end of each assignment, he signed the expense account and case notes, “Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.”

Veteran film actor Edmond O’Brien began playing the role of Johnny Dollar in 1950 – where WHAV picks up the half-hour series. Programs are heard in original broadcast order at 10 p.m., Sunday nights.

Radio drama was declining during the 1950s as television came on the scene. However, a few series continued to draw large numbers of listeners and survived into the early 1960s. WHAV presents these digitally remastered programs at 10 p.m. (repeated at 1 a.m.), every weeknight.
