WHAW is a Oldies and Classic rock formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Weston, West Virginia, serving Weston and Lewis County, West Virginia. WHAW is owned and operated by Stephen R. Peters.

Origin of the WHAW Call Letters

The original owner was the Lewis Service Corporation, whose principal was Harold A. McWhorter. Harold established WPAR Parkersburg in 1935, and WHAW Weston in 1948. Harold wanted his inititals as the call letters, WHAM, but Stromberg Carlson had those on 1180 in Rochester. He chose WHAW, telling some they stood for "Harold and (his wife) Wilda," others that he had just turned over the "M" in McWhorter.
