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.

Don't miss Rob Gerhardt's traveling photography exhibit, "Muslim American / American Muslim," on display now at Mercer Art Gallery  (801 N. Campus Dr.) at Garden City Community College. He will be hosting a talk this Thursday, Sept. 21st at 7:30 pm CST at the Pauline Joyce Fine Arts Auditorium (801 N. Campus Dr.). 

This exhibit features a collection of photos of average Muslim-Americans, often in their place of worship. These stunning black-and-white images simply show people being people, ideally communicating how alike we all are, as humans and Americans.

The Mercer Art Gallery is open from 8a - 4p every weekday, and 10a-2p on Saturdays. The show is up through Wednesday, Sept. 27th. There is a second talk, specifically for GCCC faculty, staff, and students, on Friday, Sept. 22nd at 10am. ***Those unable to make the Thursday night event are welcome to attend on Friday; please just contact Brian at 620 640 7953.

Here's the full interview with Rob:
