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.

Republican voters in the Lone Star State remain staunch in their support of the President, despite the Russian fog that has descended over the White House.

As The Texas Tribune reports,while only five percent of Democrats believe Donald Trump has the right temperament to occupy the Oval Office, more than two out of three self-identified Republicans say Trump is the right kind of person for the job.

Likewise, four out of five Republicans think Trump is competent, while fewer than one in 10 Democrats would use that word to describe the President.

Trump had his worst showing among both groups when it comes to honesty and trustworthiness. A meager four percent of Democrats think the President to be honest. But even in this measure Trump performs well among the Texas GOP. A full 66 percent of Lone Star Republicans believe the President is trustworthy.
