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.

Slideshow: Amarillo Residents Concerned About Flooding

Overnight storms in Amarillo this week broke the record for year-to-date rainfall.Amarillo.com reports that the city has seen almost 27 inches of rain this year. This brings the total past the previous record, set in 1960. In neighborhoods around Amarillo’s playa lakes, flooding has become a serious concern. Citizens near the 77th street neighborhood have been stacking sandbags around their houses. Randall County Emergency Coordinator Kevin Starbuck said he didn’t know how successful the sandbags would be. The water has encroached into garages, and many residents have elevated their furniture onto cinderblocks.

Those who reside near playa lakes are urged to be prepared to evacuate immediately. The Office of Emergency Management warned drivers not to venture through barricaded roads.
