Weather
The Boston
media doesn’t always understand unique Valley weather conditions.
Acclaimed WHAV Meterologists Rob Carolan, Gary Best and the rest of the
team provide Merrimack Valley’s most accurate weather forecasts every
half hour, 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week.
Every 30 minutes
Open Mike Show
WHAV’s
own
general manager, Tim Coco, returns to the microphone as host of the
50-year-favorite Open Mike Show. The two-hour program, also
seen on WHAV.TV, provides listeners with an opportunity to
share opinions, compete for great prizes, hear local musical
acts and so much more. Only local radio can bring you this talk
opportunity, but only WHAV does.

‘Someone
You Know is on WHAV’
WHAV to Launch
Multimedia Awareness Campaign
“Community Spotlight” is one of WHAV’s most
popular programs because it often features someone you know discussing
a local non-profit or civic event. In fact, charitable groups have
reported greater ticket sales and attendance when one of their own
members voices an announcement.
Easy to Participate
WHAV invites community leaders to take advantage of this opportunity to
schedule appointments to record an announcement on behalf of a local
civic or cultural event. Simply use the form here,
email [email protected] or
call
(978) 374-2111, Ext. 111, to submit your news.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Haverhill
Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the
Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Recognizing this trend, the Haverhill
Cultural Council has awarded WHAV a grant to help raise awareness of
the program, aimed at drawing both participants and listeners. The
Haverhill Cultural Council is “part of the largest grassroots cultural
funding network in the nation supporting thousands of community-based
projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences annually.” “Community
Spotlight” is also generously supported by Haverhill Bank.
Community Spotlight’s series of one-minute vignettes are placed in a
rotation and heard a minimum of 19 times per day
The local media landscape has changed dramatically with people relying
on the Internet to find out about local events. WHAV’s Internet radio
streams uniquely cater to this group. A September, 2011, study by the
Pew Research Group found “…when one looks at the 79% of Americans who
are online, the internet is the first or second most relied-upon source
for 15 of the 16 local topics examined. For adults under 40, the web is
first for 11 of the top 16 topics — and a close second on four others.”
