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.

Oklahoma is the second most dangerous state to drive in on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, according to a recent study.

As KFOR reports, the Sooner State trails only Mississippi when it comes to per capita deaths on state highways during and after New Year's celebrations.

Comparing data over the past six years, the National Traffic Safety Administration found that Texas had the most New Year's deaths overall, outpacing even the more populous California.

But when adjusted to consider population, it was Oklahoma and Mississippi that saw the most traffic deaths during New Year's Eve celebrations.

Over the past six years, the nation has seen 916 fatal crashes and 1,006 traffic fatalities related to New Year's Eve celebrations.
