It probably comes as no surprise that the word “news” is derived from the word “new.”

WHAV strives to present local news while it is still “new” and fresh. To the contrary, others present variations days or weeks later on stories WHAV reported first. Thus, some get the feeling of déjà vu—French for “already seen.”
