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.

If Texas were its own country, it would be one of the top producing nations in the world reported State Impact Texas. When you take a look, almost the entire state has some degree of oil production.

The map shows oil production from June 2012 to June 2013. It reveals the most intense production came from the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin regions.

The data used to create the map is from the Railroad Commission of Texas’ data query feature.
