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.

In honor of Mother’s Day this past weekend, the personal finance websiteWalletHub has compileda list of the best and worst states for working moms. A couple of High Plains states fared well on the list, landing in the top 10.

Colorado was listed as the eighth best state in the US for working moms, just ahead of Kansas, at number nine. Nebraska also performed well, landing at number 20 on the list. Texas and Oklahoma didn’t look as good, however. Texas came in at number 33, while Oklahoma was at number 36. Vermont was listed as the best state for working moms, while Nevada was named the worst.

Democratic states were found to be much more friendly to working moms, averaging ten slots higher in the rankings than Republican states.
