WHAV’s Fall Membership Drive Thanks Tom Bergeron

Over the past 75 years, many future luminaries launched their careers at WHAV. Among them was Haverhill’s favorite son, Tom Bergeron, who later took Hollywood by storm. Bergeron came to WHAV in 1972 right out of Haverhill High School. He still makes occasional guest appearances over WHAV in support Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service. Thank you Tom!
