Give a ‘Housewarming Gift’ to Help WHAV Meet its End-of-Year Goal
Seventy-five years ago this month, WHAV celebrated its move into the radio station’s new downtown Haverhill building.

As WHAV returns to the art deco-styled building, it is worth noting WHAV founder John T. “Jack” Russ’s housewarming welcome. He said, “The pride we have is not merely in putting up and equipping a modern broadcasting station…it is pride in having used the opportunity to give this community a new medium for the transmission of information and entertainment.”
|
The celebration was capped with a live appearance by popular vocalist Vaughn Monroe, who was the first to record “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”
