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.

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

The Manchester Police Department claims a coveted Pokemon character, Charizard, was spotted in the booking room. The police challenged a list of 500 fugitives to catch it. The post has yet to bring anyone in, but it's certainly sticking to the Pokemon slogan, gotta catch 'em all. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
