Huntley Community Radio Needs Your help!
We apologize, but due to a volunteer staffing issue, we will not be able to broadcast Huntley Red Raider football on Friday nights. We are quickly trying to find an alternative to continue to bring you coverage of High School football. If you know anyone that loves high school sports and would be interested in broadcasting, please email Jim Eggers at jim.eggers@huntleyradio.org or call direct at

LIVE on 101.5 FM
Yes. Since October 14, 2014 Huntley Community Radio has been broadcasting 24/7 at 101.5 Mhz on the FM band using the call letters WHRU-LP.
Turn the dial to 101.5 FM or listen on our website.
We installed an antenna at the top of the water tower located at Haligus and Kreutzer roads that is connected to our FM transmitter in the base of that water tower. We then send the audio from our Deicke Park studios to the water tower via the internet.
By law, as a low-power FM station, HCR is restricted to broadcasting at a signal strength no greater than 100 watts from a height no greater than 100 feet above ground level. This in effect limits its broadcast distance to approximately 5 radial miles from HCR’s transmitting antenna atop the Huntley water tower at Haligus and Kruetzer Roads without a perceived weakness in its signal. All of Huntley and portions of Lake In The Hills, Gilberts, Lakewood, Algonquin, and Hampshire are covered within this distance. Since we have gone live, we have noticed our signal is going further than 5 miles.
Of course, all HCR programs simulcast over the internet, so listeners who have internet access anywhere in the world will be able to listen to HCR.
Here is HCR’s clear signal coverage area as recognized by the Federal Communications Commission:
