In the Central Florida area, I also listen to the oldies station out of Ocala, WMFQ at 92.9 FM; good, strong signal in The Villages.

WVLG is a good station, but the AM signal is a bit muddy; FM is sharper. But when traveling, I've tuned in to WVLG and gotten it a pretty good distance from The Villages, like in Inverness and (scratchy) in Crystal River.

My early working life (starting at age 17) was in radio and I keep up with it somewhat. I've told friends and family that I started as the youngest announcer in the St. Louis market and might need to go back to work part-time in the business as maybe the oldest announcer in some other market someday.

I wonder if WVLG will be hiring when I'm ready to move ... ?
I agree 92.9 is good, but, "oldies" should include 40's and especially 50's music with a good dose of Doo-Opp mixed in.... thus my vote for WVLG.
