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.

Where Will You Be Watching The Eclipse?

Published August 17, 2017 at 5:44 AM CDT

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. The countdown continues, people - only four days until totality. If you're one of the lucky ones, you'll get to watch the solar eclipse from the deck of a cruise ship specially chartered for sky watchers. The big draw is obviously getting to bask in the darkness sipping cocktails but the other headliner - a live performance by Bonnie Tyler singing the 1983 hit you know you can't shake right now.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART")

BONNIE TYLER: (Singing) Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.

MARTIN: It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
