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.

Kansas ranks as not-so-fun state

While many who actually live in Kansas would disagree, a new ranking has found that Kansas is not a fun state.

As the Wichita Eaglereports, according to a ranking of the “most fun states in America” released by personal finance website Wallet Hub, Kansas ranked 43rd behind Virginia, Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, West Virginia and last-place Mississippi.

Wallet Hub used 22 indicators of a “jolly good time that won’t break the bank,” including the cost of movie tickets, accessibility to national parks, casinos per capita, restaurants per capita, ideal weather, average beer and wine price, and nightlife options per capita. 

Topping the list were Nevada, South Dakota, Colorado, North Dakota, New York, Wyoming, Oregon, Louisiana, Montana and Hawaii.

Kansas isn’t always at the bottom of rankings lists though. In a Wallet Hub list released in April, Kansans were found to be more relaxed than those living in all but about 11 other states.
