Radio 92.5 The River (WXRV)

WXRV (The River 92.5 FM) is an Adult album alternative radio station based in Andover, Massachusetts, with a signal covering most of northeast Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, and audible as far away as Plymouth, Massachusetts. Originating in 1947 as WHAV, Haverhill's local AM station, an FM station was founded in 1948, but went dark in the early 1950s. The FM station was restored to its current position on the FM dial in 1959, and WLYT (Lite 92.5) in 1982 and gained its current identity as WXRV in 1995, presumably taking the River moniker from the nearby Merrimack River (though with its wider reach it as often as not uses Boston's Charles River for publicity purposes). Despite the station's transmitter location, WXRV attempts to primarily serve the large Greater Boston area. The studios are still located in Haverhill, MA in the original art deco building.
