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.

In honor of Independence Day, the website wallethub.com has completed a study to determine which US metro communities most resemble the nation at large. The website compiled data including age, gender and income as well as more complex measures such as household makeup and housing tenure.

The study found that Indianapolis, Indiana, most closely resembles America-at-large, while McAllen, Texas least resembles the nation. Oklahoma City is ranked 7^th in terms of its resemblance to America, while Amarillo falls at number 62 out of 381 communities studied. Of the top 10 cities on the list, 9 are located in the Midwest and the South.
