We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

KJJJP-FM 105.7 in Amarillo is currently operating at 10% power due to problems with its main transmitter. Engineers are currently working to resolve the problem. If you listen to 105.7 FM and are experiencing reception problems, you can always listen to its programming through the streaming player above.

Kids Get A Kick Out Of Soccer Star's Lookalike

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. There is only one Lionel Messi, but don't tell that to the kids at an orphanage in Egypt. A local painter resembles the soccer superstar so much that kids flock to him when they see him. So he leaned into this role. He plays soccer with them while wearing Messi's jersey. One kid said it feels like the Argentine star has come to play with them. So now he wants Egypt's own star, Mohamed Salah, to come over and play as well. It's MORNING EDITION.
