Our translator station serving St. Francis and Cheyenne County at 96.3 FM is off the air due to an air conditioning breakdown at its leased transmitter site, making it too hot for HPPR's equipment to operate. We are currently working to fix the situation. We apologize for the loss of service and ask listeners to tune to KZNK at 90.1 FM or listen on line through the player above or HPPR's mobile app.

Good News on the Colorado Drought Front

http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

Drought conditions have been downgraded for portions of eastern Colorado.  

Here's an excerpt from the website:

“A reassessment of conditions prompted the removal of extreme drought from near Kiowa County in Colorado. Recent conditions have been dry, but a wet period from Mid-July to Mid-October has mitigated the impacts, do the area is now designated at D2 (severe drought), more consistent with impacts reported by local extension agents.”

There were no changes for the Northern and Central Plains and the Midwest regions.  Some improvement was noted in southern Texas.
