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.

Listen to live special coverage of Biden's inauguration as 46th president of the United States.

Update at 2 p.m. ET: NPR special audio coverage of the inauguration has ended. Watch the livestream below. Follow updates in our liveblog.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as president and vice president of the United States on Wednesday. Along with a dramatic shift for the country, this Inauguration Day itself is different.

Americans have been told to stay home because of the pandemic, and security is extratight two weeks after a breach of the Capitol building.

Biden has already released a slew of executive actions he plans to take immediately as president, ranging from the COVID-19 crisis, the economy, racial justice and climate.

After the swearing-in, Biden is set to pay respects at Arlington National Cemetery with former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and then receive a presidential escort to the White House.

His administration has a news conference planned for 7 p.m. ET followed by a produced evening program hosted by Tom Hanks with celebrity speakers and musical performances.
