Hamptons Community Radio

Our mission is two fold: First is to make good ….no, GREAT radio, and Second is to serve the community. Making great radio does serve the community but we want and expect to be more. The East End is a beautiful, vibrant ,energetic, active, involved, caring, and growing community.We want to promote it. Instead of Commercials, we want to air PSA (public service announcements) and community events. We want to let everyone know what is going onaround town. We want to be involved in your good work….publicize it and help you get community support.Although there are many good commercial radio stations,their goal has two prongs: to get ratings and to make theirsponsors happy ….as it should be with commercial radio.There is only one non-commercial signal that has any roots inthe east end and that is Southampton’s campus radiostation. All of the other non-commercial signals are based inConnecticut and have NO connection with the community.We Want To Be Part Of Your Community!

Committed to creating a wide-ranging radio resource for people of the South Fork,Hamptons Community Radio Corporation will provide a wealth of music programming and public service announcements, but will also be a vital forum for discussions of the issues that impact the day-to-day lives of our local residents:
