WHAV’s Fall Membership Drive Remembers Bud Smith

Earl “Bud” Smith was a Haverhill meteorologist who found a place on-air when WHAV launched 75 years ago. He worked in an age without sophisticated radar or satellites and acknowledged the shortcomings of the time. He explained in a promo for his forecasts.

“Now, wait a minute. Maybe we weren’t absolutely right on the last broadcast, but the weather does change you know and I’ll guarantee an honest forecast every time.”

Help celebrate WHAV’s diamond jubilee and return to its 1947 studio building in downtown Haverhill. Give a housewarming gift in support of Greater Haverhill’s only public radio station and nonprofit local news service. Just click here.
