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.

Pat Roberts, a native of Dodge City, returned home last week. For the US Senator from Kansas, coming home is an opportunity to recharge his batteries, reports the Dodge City Daily Globe.

During his visit, Roberts participated in a brick ceremony at The Depot. "It's always a blessing to be home in Dodge City," Roberts said. The senator added that coming home gives him a chance to hear what’s on the minds of his constituents.

Roberts, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, also spoke on his opposition the EPA’s Clean Water Act: “This act by the EPA is wrong. They took federal dollars and created an ap which was connected to all the environmental groups in the nation. They started getting comments and went and said '90 percent of Americans want clean water.' The problem is it was a two-page act with 88 pages of regulations.
