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.

Severe Studios

it’s been a crazy weather week on the High Plains. You name it, we’ve seen it. The flatlands have experienced snow, rain, tornadoes, hail, and unseasonably warm weather.

The New York Times reportedon a tornado that ripped through a Halliburton plant northeast of Amarillo on Monday. Three other tornadoes also touched down in Gray County, according to myhighplains.com, though no injuries or fatalities were reported. A week later, USA TODAY was reportingdozens of tornadoes across the plains. Meanwhile,The Wichita Eagle announcedthe first snowfall of the season in Northwest Kansas last week.

Then, on Tuesday, Accuweather reported on a blizzard that buried parts of Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas and Nebraska. The Texas and Oklahoma panhandles also saw snow on Tuesday. But the day before and after saw highs in the upper 60s.
