HPPR's Garden City studios lost their internet service from AT&T on Thursday evening and will not likely have it restored by AT&T until sometime Friday. The problem is somewhere in AT&T's network configuration. As a result, the Garden City studios currently have no internet access, including the email communications and the ability to provide an audio stream to the internet.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to do everything possible to expedite the restoration of service.
