KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Correction To Previous Day's Report On Michigan State Settlement

On Thursday, May 17, we interviewed Michigan State University Interim President John Engler about the $500 million settlement for victims of university athletic doctor and convicted sex abuser Larry Nassar. At one point during the conversation, we mistakenly referred to the school as the University of Michigan.

Also, Engler stated that the university discovered what Nassar was doing in 2016. But, Michigan State had looked into allegations of wrongdoing by Nasser in 2014. When we contacted Engler's office later on Thursday, it issued a statement saying that "the investigation conducted in 2014 cleared Nassar of allegations and no charges were filed then, so at that time, it was not believed to be sexual misconduct."
