Plaistow, N.H. Local Access TV
Channel 17 now airing WHAV
Channel Joins Andover, Haverhill, Methuen and Sandown

WHAV is now heard on Plaistow’s local access television channel 17.

Channel 17 carries other local programming and broadcasts WHAV when it is not airing its regularly scheduled programming. The radio station is also heard on the Internet at WHAV.net, cable television in several area communities, mobile phones and a low-power AM radio station at 1640.

“WHAV is designed for the local listener. Every aspect, from weather reports to breaking news, is written from a local angle, and intended to address the concerns of local residents,” said WHAV President and General Manager Tim Coco.  He explained listeners may especially find interest in the Open Mike Show, which presents timely guests and gives area residents a chance to call and discuss issues of concern. Open Mike airs live at 6:30 p.m., on Monday nights.

Plaistow civic groups and businesses have also been invited to submit listings for the station’s hourly Community Spotlight program and Business Bulletin respectively.

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, Haverhill and Methuen, and Plaistow and Sandown, N.H. Low-power AM radio service at 1640 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.
