  • Dick Horan of Precision Imports fills in for Ron Poirier of Bob and Sons Auto in our All About Autos segment. He’s giving us pointers on buying used cars…. are you in the market? First tip: get a pre-purchase inspection. Sometimes auto dealers get cars from auctions or take trade-ins, and they often don’t know what’s really in the car. At worst, this pre-purchase inspection is an effective negotiation tool. Plus, do you know what pattern failures are? Did you know about NH’s guarantee on state inspections, or the troubles people run into with warranties? We’ve got all the info right here.
  • We have our public safety expert, Jeff Czarnec, and this week, he’s talking about all of those weird things you see at night. Did you know that Manchester has an extensive history with ghost stories? Jeff’s got some eerie police sightings of UFOs, but could these just have been “fatigue” related? And don’t miss his steering-wheel-gripping story about an experience he had on a police call regarding a 12 year old girl. Hint: ever seen the exorcist? Tune in.
  • Sean Devine the Energy Guy comes on and guarantees new Resident Power subscribers a savings of AT LEAST 10% when they switch from PSNH! This week, he’s talking price changes in natural gas (its going up!), and Nuclear Power plants switching over there rods! What is causing these changes, and how will the changes affect you (and your pocketbook)? Also in this segment, we cover all the general questions you have about Resident Power. If you haven’t switched over yet but you’re thinking about it, make sure to tune in!
  • Harriet Cady of Deerfield NH came in for our Political Perspectives segment. She’s what we know as a “watchdog,” and she’s here to talk about the “Right to Know” law in Manchester. What does “Right to Know” mean for us citizens when we want to get information from our government, and how does it affect the problem at Goffstown’s Mountain View Middle School? Plus, she just won an important Supreme Court case. Tune in for the details!
