KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are 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.

'The Office' is getting a spinoff — more than 10 years after the NBC series ended

Published May 9, 2024 at 4:54 AM CDT

(SOUNDBITE OF THE OFFICE BAND'S "THE OFFICE (MAIN THEME)")

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. The television show "The Office" gets a spin-off more than 10 years after the NBC series wrapped up. It'll take place in the same universe with the same mocumentary crew that brought Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch into our homes. There are new characters, though, and a new setting, a dying historic Midwestern newspaper. What could be more hilarious than journalists chasing readers? Production starts this summer.
