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."

Very interesting Talk Host ... I will try to find the name and contact info for the guy I spoke with and give him a chance to come up with a "better answer" ... will report back if I find the info and do speak with him again.
If they can do it, I ask why not ... I would like to listen to WVLG when away from TV or even in my home office in TV where I don't have a radio [I know...just get a radio].
