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.

Despite Being Stabbed, Pizza Deliverer Follows Through On Order

Published May 6, 2015 at 6:59 AM CDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was about to give a speech when a man shot him. Roosevelt gave the speech anyway. Louisville's Josh Lewis was just as determined. Someone at the hospital ordered pizza, and Mr. Lewis got the delivery order. Someone carjacked, robbed and stabbed him. He ended up in the hospital, but the Louisville Courier-Journal reports that while being treated, he called the pizzeria for a fresh delivery, finishing the job he started. It's MORNING EDITION.
