In 2004, the station was sold to Kanza Society Inc. for $1.25 million and it became an affiliate of High Plains Public Radio.[9][10] On October 8, 2004, its call sign was changed to KJJP.[2] Although Amarillo is the largest urban center in the HPPR coverage area, this was the first time most of the area had received a clear signal from an NPR station. The region had already been served by HPPR repeater KTXP in nearbyBushland, but it operates at only 1,000 watts to protectWest Texas A&M University'sKWTS at 91.1 FM. KTXP's signal was so weak that HPPR had to install a low-powered translator serving Amarillo itself at 94.9 FM.
