Default Classical

See how your FM signal is for either WUFT, 89.1, at the University of Florida in Gainesville or its translator/repeater, WJUF, 90.1, in Inverness. It's the same programming.

At night, at least until 11, I believe, it's classical. Mix of classical and NPR during the day and jazz overnight.

Yes, but it would be the Barry Manilow cover version. I think it is from his, "Barry Swings the Classics" CD.

Love WVLG and most of the personalities.The morning show with George needs some work or a new personality.George needs to quit talking so much about being cheap and getting the best deals.Tired of hearing that.

Welcome to the Forum. You are new to us...and we are glad you are here. You will see many opinions here and some will agree with yours and some won't. I haven't been listening to George. But if that is what he is touting, so do a lot of fine folks from Ohio. I love to get the best deals too.

Where do you live in TV and what do you like the best about this place?

Gracie. Some call me cheap.

When we are visiting TV I thoroughly enjoy the radio station. When I hear it, I know where I am!! Our sense of hearing is not unlike that of our other senses...especially (to me) our sense of smell. I smell something and it immediately brings memories of where ever I had smelled that scent before...so I totally associate WLVG with a sense of happiness, contentment and I smile.

One of the coolest things I like about WVLG is you hear it while walking around the downtown area of Lake Sumter Landing. Is it at Spanish Springs also? To be honest, I don't remember hearing it there, but that doesn't mean anything.

Look forward to hearing it if we move next year. Hey, after 40+ years in radio, maybe I can get a part time job!

Default WVLG is great!

Why all the hatred for WVLG? It's a great local station that serves it's community. So what if it's owned by the developer?? What difference does that make?? They play good music, keep people updated, and serve us all well.
Why would you use any other station when in The Villages? or do you just need something to complain about?

I love the mix of different eras that they play. I am often surprised by them playing some obscure but good stuff that I would never expect to hear on an AM station. I can even forgive them for playing the "short" version of Inna gadda da vida the other week. But I still miss listening to Allison Steele, The Nightbird, on WNEW in New York.

I like WVLG but when I tire of that I go to WMMO 98.9 from Orlando. Sometimes it doesn't come in so well in the car but in the house is fine.
