At NCTV17, our mission is simple: to keep Naperville informed, connected, and empowered through stories that matter to this community. When we began in 1987, you could only watch on Channel 17 through local cable television. Today, you can stream, scroll, or listen wherever you are because how you engage with local stories has evolved, and so have we!
