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.

Running Dry: The Future of Water in Kansas

KMUW's Engage ICT held a panel on June 13, 2023, to discuss the future of water in Kansas.

What’s more important than water? Maybe air, but not knowing if we’ll have drinkable water in Kansas twenty years from now could be a problem. During June's Engage ICT, we discussed Running Dry: The Future of Water in Kansas. Our panelists for this conversation are:

  • David Condos, former reporter for the Kansas News Service
  • Gary Janzen, Director of Public Works and Utilities for the City of Wichita
  • Libby Albers, Interim Director of the Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams
