Since the station is piped into every nook and cranny in the Villages, their listening cume is higher inside the Villages than it would ever be on the internet. Radio stations all over the world are streaming their signal on the internet.

I would have hoped they could come up with a better answer than that, like "our radio station isn't really a radio station, it's a public address system for the Villages."
Thanks you for the insight
