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.

The average American family spends $2,000 per year on energy. But some states are far more energy efficient than others. The personal finance website Wallethub set out to discover which states are doing more with less energy.

Among High Plains states, only Colorado put in a good showing in the rankings. The Centennial State landed at number nine among all states when it comes to energy efficiency. None of the other states in the HPPR listening region made the top half of the list. Kansas landed at number 29, while Nebraska was number 32, and Texas and Oklahoma fell at numbers 37 and 38, respectively.

New York and Vermont were found to be the most energy efficient states in the U.S., while Louisiana and South Carolina are the least frugal with energy.
