KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are 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.

Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week for a program of music performed by the Harrington String Quartet!

The Panhandle's own Harrington String Quartet will join the Amarillo Symphony this coming April for the premiere performance of an exciting "concerto grosso" that was commissioned by contemporary composer Chrisopher Theofanidis to celebrate the symphony's centennial season; it's a work entitled Canyon. The quartet will also be performing a concert of repertoire by Ernest Bloch, Ermend Bonnal, and Franz Schubert at the Mary Moody Northen Recital Hall on the West Texas A&M University campus at 7:30pm on Friday, November 3rd. Therefore, this week's episode of Classical Music Amarillo will feature the Harrington String Quartet's past performances of Anton Webern's Langsamer Satz, William Grant Still's Lyric Quartet, and Maurice Ravel's String Quartet in F major.
