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.

Remembering Ida B. Wells

Thursday marks the 90th anniversary of the death of Ida B. Wells, a woman with a storied past. A street is named after her in Chicago, and there’s a 1990 commemorative stamp from the Postal Service.

Wells was a suffragette, a mom to four and a reporter in the late 1800s who survived death threats to expose a dark chapter in American history. Her work won her a posthumous Pulitzer Prize.

Last February, David Freudberg of the Public Radio series “Humankind” brought us her story. We share it again on this anniversary.
