But one huge problem is that in our poured concrete homes with rebar, the reception is terrible...weak and buzzing....and annoying.

WLVG needs to have internet streaming (like iHeart Radio dot com) so it can be heard everywhere, especially by snowbirds gone for the season, and wannabe's around the hemisphere.

To me, from a home sales standpoint, there are few radio ads anywhere that have the appeal of the "man/woman on the street" one minute interviews done by WVLG daily. It's very appealing and convincing to hear people joyfully say where they came from, what they're doing now for activity outside the home, if they'd ever done that before coming, why they like it so much, and how they couldn't do that while working and "living" (existing and being a hamster on a wheel) in an icy, cloudy climate.

I've contacted WVLG several times about internet streaming. In each case, I have received a very nice reply that there are no plans to stream; now or in the future.

Maybe if more people contacted them, it might make them reconsider.
