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.

'This Is A Childish Thing To Do:' Georgia Man Receives Final Paycheck In Pennies

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. A Georgia man probably expected his last paycheck from a former employer to come in the mail. Instead, Andreas Flaten was shocked to find $915 in his driveway in pennies. Flaten said the 90,000 pennies were covered in some oily substance. Flaten's former boss told a local TV station he didn't remember whether he dropped the pennies off or not. Flaten wasn't amused. But he and his girlfriend are trying to be positive. They say they've already found one penny from 1937. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
