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.

Texas, Kansas Top List Of Best States For Driving

Wallethub

The personal finance website Wallethub has released a list of the best and worst states for driving, and High Plains Public Radio states took the top three spots on the list.

To come up with their list, Wallethub compared states according to 23 key metrics, including average gas prices, share of rush-hour traffic congestion, and road quality.

Texas was found to be the best state in America to drive in, while Kansas was ranked second and Nebraska third. Oklahoma also performed well on the list, landing at number 14.

Among HPPR states, only Colorado didn’t make the top half of states; the Centennial State landed at number 32 on the list. Washington State and Hawaii were found to be the worst states for driving.

Texas performed especially well in terms of the availability of automobiles and maintenance shops, while Kansas ranked second nationwide for traffic and infrastructure.
