Good Radio Station?
 

Hello--

My husband and I are moving to the Villages next year and wanted to know what radio stations were good down there? We visited a little while back and didn't pick up much reception in our car for some reason. What does everyone listen to? Thanks so much.

If you listen to talk radio, 540 (Orlando) and 690 (Jacksonville) are the ones I listen to. Reception in TV is some what spotty, but I can still listen during the day.

There is a lot of interference in our house. The touch lights interfere unless on high. The dimmer switch on the fan lights interferes, so I just don't turn the lights on that have a dimmer. And, the space heater in the bathroom wipes out radio in the entire house.

The local Villages station, 640, is good for the weather and information about TV, (The Villages), and I love 95% of the music they play.

I like NPR 90.1 FM.

And you should also be able to get the Orlando NPR station at 90.7. Sometimes when one is down (one seldom knows why), I turn on the other.

I should note, however, that I have these on only in my car. Since both separated their classical music programming out to the HD2 version, I still can't get it, except on-line.

I did not like the reception I was getting on the radio, so I purchased a lifetime Syrius package for $500. I now have a subscription for life and I get about a 100 or more stations clear as a bell.

Pricey, but it was worth it to me as I listen to music 7 days a week.

The local radio plays terrible music and runs FoxNews. Go with satellite radio.

FM 98.9 WMMO out of Orlando. Soft rock with a slant to oldies.

I like 98.9 FM too because they play mostly the 70's. :pepper2:

They play Fox News? Good. I have been writing these down so when we get there we will be all set for music.This is a very helpful thread.

Thank you all.

92.3 FM Country Western music from Orlando.

You can search for radio stations on the web and got to the radio station web site. Most have a "Listen Live" function that will give you crystal clear radio over your computer speakers. I listen to a few Florida radio stations at my home in Hawaii.

FM 105.9 & I subscribe to XM too.

Pandora radio
 

If you have an internet connection in your house you can listen to whatever music you like on Pandora radio, www.pandora.com

Sign up for XM Radio. They'll try to sell you the $13 per month premium package-- way too much in my opinion. After you turn it down, but before hanging up, they'll drag out the 5 months for $20 (total) deal. Hundreds of stations, many categories, crystal clear reception. Just covers the car radio, I believe. More $ if you want it on home radio, IPod, etc.
