KANZA offers alternative programming combining excellence and diversity. It provides listeners access to music, ideas, and events of the world and of the High Plains. There are approximately 1,700 members/contributors. High Plains Public Radio (HPPR) has been providing public-radio service for nearly 40 years, starting in 1980 with the launch of its first station in southwest Kansas. Over the years, HPPR has grown to provide service to nearly 300 communities in 59 counties across the High Plains region through an interconnected network of 12 FM stations and six FM translators. In 1998, through the support of leaders in the Amarillo community, HPPR extended its service to Texas and now has transmitters located in Amarillo (KJJP FM 105.7), Bushland (KTXP FM 91.5), Spearman- Perryton (KTOT FM 89.5), and Dalhart (KTDH FM 89.3), as well as a translator in Amarillo (FM 94.9). HPPR currently provides service to the 20 northernmost counties in the Texas Panhandle with four of these 12 transmitters and one of the six translators (see map below). HPPR reaches listeners anywhere in the world via digital streaming to computers and smart devices through its website and mobile app. KANZA Society, Inc.

It does not include the restricted fund which includes physical assets or the fund that includes board designated reserves. **The precipitating point for the negative year-end variances was the significant decrease in the amount of funding received from the state of Kansas for operations each year. At the high point HPPR received around $399,000 in a year and this past year only received around $76,000. The organization is still working to close this gap. In addition, the organization went through a bit of a rough patch regarding staff when the Executive Director of just over 17 years, Deb Oyler, left the organization in December of 2017. There was a long search for a replacement and then the Chief Operating Officer at the time also left the organization. The new Executive Director did not work out in part due to the lack of continuity. The organization hired two different Chief Operating Officers that did not work out. A new Business Manager was hired in September of 2019 and a new Executive Director, Will Murphy, was hired in January 2020. HPPR is conducting a comprehensive strategic planning process this fiscal year, which has already begun with a series of background sessions with the HPPR board of directors on public radio operations basics, the changing dynamics of the media environment and audience behaviors, and strategic challenges and choices facing HPPR in the next 2-5 years. The process will later involve other constituents. Out of this process will come a prioritized set of strategic initiatives and an accompanying long-range funding plan covering both ongoing operations and needed strategic investments.

MEBF Board Meeting: 02.2021 Page 3 of 5 KANZA Society, Inc. dba High Plains Public Radio __________________________________________________________________________ Project Description: High Plains Public Radio (HPPR) respectfully requests $20,000 towards the repair and rebuilding of the transmission line of KTOT-FM 89.5, the sole public radio station serving 15 counties in the east Texas Panhandle. The fundamental need addressed by this project is restoring KTOT to 100% power so that it can once again provide good signal service to 84,000 residents of the eastern Texas Panhandle. The transmission line connects the high-power transmitter at the base of KTOT’s 1,000-foot tower to its transmitting antenna at the top of the 1,000-foot tower. A portion of the transmission line at the very top of the tower, just below where it connects to the transmitting antenna, has completely burned out. Consequently, the station is currently operating through a backup transmission line and antenna that are capable of delivering only 20% of KTOT’s usual 100,000 watts of operating power. As a result, approximately 75,000 adults in KTOT’s regular coverage area, including 61,000 in the Texas Panhandle, now receive greatly impaired or no public radio service at all. Normally, KTOT serves 110,000 adults (see map below). People living elsewhere in the Texas Panhandle are affected by KTOT’s reduced coverage area when they drive through the eastern Panhandle. Problems with KTOT’s transmission system first started in 2018 when the KTOT transmitter shut off due to problems detected by safe-operation sensors. The transmitter was quickly reset and resumed normal operation. However, over time the shut-offs kept occurring with gradually increasing frequency until the transmitter shut off and would not reset, even after it was thoroughly inspected and damage to it from the frequent shut-offs was repaired. It was clear at this point that the problem was somewhere in the transmission line connecting the transmitter to the antenna or in the antenna itself. KANZA Society, Inc. MEBF Board Meeting: 02.2021 Page 4 of 5 KANZA Society, Inc. dba High Plains Public Radio __________________________________________________________________________ Because further diagnoses of the problem could not be made from the ground, a tower climber experienced with FM transmission systems was hired to climb the tower and inspect the entire transmission system from top to bottom. This inspection revealed that the upper 40 feet of the transmission line was completely burned out. The likely cause of this damage was the cumulative effect of extreme temperature changes that overtime caused repeated expansion and contraction of this rigid copper section of the line.

  • Dei Integrated Campaign
    High Plains Public Radio Update October 2012 Deb Oyler, Executive Director In assessing the fiscal year that just ended on September 30th there are really two stories to tell for HPPR. One looks back over the past year to just sustaining HPPR. The other looks forward to greatly improving its service to you and the region. Between these two stories I really do see HPPR as turning a corner and being positioned to move forward in furthering its mission as a cultural, educational and civic resource for the region. Surviving and sustaining In 2010 we faced a major challenge -- the proposed total elimination of State of Kansas operating support and the actual sharp reduction of such funding. In response, HPPR developed a “sustainability strategy” to ensure the continuation of public radio on the High Plains. FY 2012 was our first full year of operation under the plan and we made considerable progress against its near- term objectives. 1. Cutting expenses, increasing private support and avoiding a financial crisis. In FY 2012 HPPR’s annual budget was reduced by $222,000 (18%), including the elimination of three of 11 full-time staff positions. Work was reprioritized, redesigned and spread among remaining staff and volunteers. Annual membership support has increased by about 10% since FY 2010 and is now by far the largest source of income for HPPR. Business underwriting income is up about 30% from last year and vehicle donations are up over 500% (to about $10,000). A serious financial crisis was avoided in FY 2011, though we did incur an operating deficit of 1.6% ($19,300) on a budget of about $1.2 million.
