Despite that, we have remained loyal and continued to listen to the station. Today at approximately 1:44 PM that all changed. Something happened that I never expected from the Villages radio station, they played RAP. For us, that’s a game changer, it brought back bad memories of the Super Bowl halftime show. We refuse to listen to a station that broadcasts noise pollution instead of music. By by WVLG!
The demographics are different now when it comes to music. There's at least one change in music style for each generation. The station has the challenge of satiating a rather diverse market when it comes to what music they should play. One suggestion is to have WTLV set up a format where, on a daily basis, each "style of music" is featured during a fixed time period. They could cover six stylistic periods over 24 hours or eight if they went in 3 hour shifts. This way folks who love the 50's & early 60's music might know that every day...at a specific time, they can tune in and listen to their favorite songs. Though folks in the mid 60's on up are most likely not fans of rap, there are folks in their 50's who are. So, wouldn't it be nice that from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. once could tune in and listen to Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Temps..etc. and at 12 midnight to 4 a..m. the rap-sters could have their turn! Just sayin..
