Weather
The Boston
media doesn’t always understand unique Valley weather conditions.
Acclaimed WHAV Meterologists Rob Carolan and Gary Best provide
Merrimack Valley’s most accurate weather forecasts every half hour,
24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week.
Every
30 minutes
War of the Worlds
WHAV
brings back the Mercury Theater on the Air broadcast of the “War of the
Worlds” just in time for Halloween.
This year
marks the 72nd anniversary of the broadcast that panicked the nation.
Orson Welles based the play on the 1898 novel by H. G. Wells. However,
the radio version used simulated news bulletins to announce the Martian
invasion of Earth. The result was widespread panic as many Americans
fled their homes to escape the Martian “death ray.”

Battistini of Haverhill TV and Appliance presents an AM/FM radio and CD
player to Kevin Alder as part of WHAV’s “Tidal Wave of Winnings”
contest. Thank you Fred for your donation and Kevin for your
participation!
‘Tidal Wave’
Contest Leads to Development of New Mobile Apps
WHAV Plans iPhone,
Android & BlackBerry Listening Apps
WHAV’s
recent “Tidal Wave of Winnings”
contest generated many ideas, suggestions and comments — many focusing
on the need to make listening easier and more convenient.
Respondents cited desires for easier cell phone listening, FM reception
and expanded cable television time. WHAV has long sought an FM license,
but few frequencies and even fewer federal application “windows” have
stalled progress. Similarly, WHAV is grateful for the time public
access cable television stations have set aside for WHAV programs, but
management recognizes these affiliates already have jam-packed
schedules.
“Development of one-button listening applications for iPhone, Android
and BlackBerry devices is the most feasible means to meet listener
needs,” said WHAV General Manager Tim Coco. “For the past seven years,
WHAV has pioneered the development of ultra-high-quality digital
broadcasting. Creation of specialized smart phone apps is the next
logical step,” he explained. The technology has been identified and
sponsors are being sought to underwrite development costs. In exchange,
sponsors will have their names and logos featured on mobile phone
screens everywhere, he said.
Here are two of many comments received by contest respondents:
“WHAV has come a long way since I was a little girl growing up in this
area. It used to be that WHAV was a station for ‘old fogies.’ That’s
changed, however. It’s much more contemporary. I just wish it were on
FM so I could listen to it on my portable radio as I’m going for my
daily walk,” a fan from Haverhill wrote.
A West Newbury listener commented, “Programming is great. I just wish I
could get the station on my radio.”
Other remarks focused on local programming.
“I really enjoy WHAV and have been listening to it for decades. It’s
nice to know it’s strictly local and that I can enjoy hearing things
about my home town,” wrote a Haverhill listener.
Another West Newbury resident said, “I like the ‘insider’ nature of
local coverage.”
“I really enjoy the selection of music played and the local angle of
news!” a Haverhill resident commented.
Open Mike Show host Jack Bevelaqua received a large, but equal number
of pros and cons. One listener wrote, “I like the Open Mike Show. We
have listened to it from the first of the Bill Pike era,” while another
said, “I really like the idea of a local talk show but he’s such a turn
off. I have stopped listening and won’t go back as long as he’s the
host.”

New
Servers End ‘Skipping’ Problem
WHAV also Gives
New Hardware & Software to HCTV
WHAV
recently named Energy Group Networks as its downstream server host and
selected the company’s New York City data center to distribute streams
from WHAV and its sister station, StreamingSuperstation.com.
As many listeners observed, WHAV’s broadband and cable television
streams were stricken during August and September with what many
described as a “skipping” problem. An intense technical analysis placed
the blame on a bandwidth “throttling” process implemented by a rogue
network operator somewhere along the Internet between WHAV and its
former host.
Since switching server hosts, the reliability and quality of both the
broadband and cell phone streams have improved dramatically. WHAV
apologizes for the inconvenience while the problem was being
investigated and solutions sought. Many thanks also to the seven public
access stations across the Merrimack Valley that updated WHAV’s
Internet addresses!
WHAV also provided new computer hardware and software for Haverhill
Community Television Channel 22 to further improve reliability.
