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.

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with congratulations to the Miami Marlins. The team managed a first on opening day. They had a rain delay inside an indoor stadium. More precisely, the Marlins' park has a retractable roof. It started to rain, but the roof was open and didn't close right away. And of course, the team did not have a tarp ready to cover the field because the roof. Finally, the roof was closed and the Marlins got on with losing the game to Atlanta.
