I'm not looking to take over TV, I just would like to see some entertainment geared towards my age group which seems reasonable given the investment that we all make to live in TV.

All successful business is market driven. I am sure that what is nostalgic will change too. At this point, the average age of a Village home owner is 71. The Entertainment is paid for by the merchants on the square augmented by some tax monies from the Florida entertainment tax.
Lobbying for a change in this situation will be decided and controlled by the merchants on the squares. They pay the entertainers through the entertainment committee which is now privately owned. Just like all things it began as a developer owned entity. But like a lot of other things, it appears their business plan is to establish it and then sell the business. Like Transportation, The Furniture Store, many restaurants, etc.
As life continues here, after time, your group will be the group longing for nostalic nineties music. And then pouf, we are all gone. Someone else will be running the railroad.
Good morning. It is another beautiful day in The Villages.
