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.

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. A Russian company has finally given us the Apple Watch we've all been waiting for, a gold-plated tribute to President Vladimir Putin. The $3,000 watch features the president's signature and also the Moscow skyline. It comes from the same company that brought us the gold Putin iPhone case. Remember the guy from the DirecTV commercial who's on the couch with his pet miniature giraffe? I bet he's first in line.

UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) Opulence, I has it. I like the best.
