Mission

The mission of HCR is succinctly stated in its motto: “Keeping Huntley Informed and Connected”. In support of HCR’s mission, no other communications medium that serves the Huntley community can provide community alerts, announcements, and information of general interest to all segments of the Huntley area community in as timely a manner as HCR can. HCR has the unique capability of communicating and interacting with its Huntley area listening community several hours each day of the year. This form of communication inherently brings the community together with shared knowledge and insight.
