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.

Heat Wave In U.K. Reminds Andean Flamingos Of Their Natural Habitat

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Europe is suffering from a massive heatwave this summer, which is making many people miserable. But it's good for some tropical Andean flamingos at a refuge in the U.K. It was so hot the birds were reminded of their natural habitat, and they laid eggs for the first time in 15 years. Unfortunately, the eggs weren't fertilized, so they didn't hatch. But wildlife officials replaced those eggs with viable ones from Chilean flamingos to raise as their own.
