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.

AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine 100% Effective At Preventing Hospitalization, U.S. Trial Finds

AstraZeneca released the data from their U.S. Phase III coronavirus vaccine trials. The trials found the vaccine is 79% effective at preventing symptoms and 100% at preventing severe disease and hospitalization.

This marks an important milestone in getting the fourth vaccine out nationwide as many states begin to stall in the fight against the coronavirus.

Host Callum Borchers speaks with Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist with Georgetown University, about the new data.
