What an environmental upgrade that would be to have some vestige of classy audio, not to mention another attractive enticement to potential future residents. If not, maybe after construction ceases, a poll could be taken for each square for surrounding residents to decide on a particular format or even a variety? On the visual and maintenance side of things, so glad to see more and more empire zoysia instead of floratam, a huge draw for us prospective types.
Hi Whitevibe,
Welcome to TOTV!

It might seem like a good idea at first blush for the three different squares to have different types of music playing from the speakers. But fact is, the speakers at the squares are broadcasting the TV radio station. This is an economical and sensible plan. It enables the developer to promote TV from the broadcasts, ensure radio advertisers a larger audience (for which ad rates are set accordingly), and at the same time, contributes a pleasing and familiar ambiance for Villagers and guests at the squares.
