WHAV-LP (97.9 FM) – branded 97.9 WHAV – is a non-commercial low-power radio station licensed to serve Haverhill, Massachusetts.
Besides a standard analog transmission, WHAV-LP's audio is also carried, in part, by a number of public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable television stations, and is available online.
In a series of legal filings, the right to the WHAV name was assumed by COCO+CO., Inc.’s Xelocast division, using it to launch a new English-language Internet radio station January 3, 2004, at whav.net.
Since that time, a number of cable television stations have also agreed to carry its locally oriented programming.
