KZAN-FM 91.7, providing HPPR service to Hays, KS and the surrounding area, is off the air due to failure of the satellite receiver used to connect the station with HPPR's studios.  A spare receiver has been sent and engineers are working on replacing the failed receiver and returning KZAN-FM 91.7 to full service as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
