on Popular Open Mike Show
Lemay Previously Heard on WHAV, WCCM

Marc Lemay, who has been heard locally on WHAV and WCCM, returns to the microphone tonight when he fills in for Jack Bevelaqua on the Open Mike Show, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Tonight’s scheduled guests include Jeff Kennedy and Brian Tatter of the newly opened CruiseOne travel agency, 36 Washington Street, Haverhill.

“It’s a pleasure to be able to sit in for Jack while he recuperates, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. I’m honored that WHAV management has given me the chance to get behind the microphone once again to talk about the issues of the day surrounding Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley,” said Lemay.

Lemay got his start in radio as a 13-year-old intern at WALE AM 1400 in Fall River. When the station was sold in 1989, Lemay was there to sign off WALE at 11 p.m., July 19, and sign on again as WHTB the next morning. In 1990, Lemay moved to WHAV when then-Program Director Brian Webster hired him as news director.

After three years at WHAV, Lemay went to work in other areas of communications including Yellow Pages, newspaper publishing, graphic design, television (public access) and Internet.

In 2004, Lemay returned to radio when he joined WCCM. There, he served as afternoon drive host, production director, IT manager, morning show news anchor/co-host and finally morning show host.

Since March, 2007, he has served as public relations/media coordinator for Greater Lawrence Family Health Center.

The WHAV call letters have been associated with local broadcasting since 1947. For five years, the WHAV call has been heard on the Internet at www.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 cell telephone service at www.WHAV.mobi were also recently inaugurated.
