Lately they have been playing a lot of newer music, especially disco. WVLG now plays music we can hear on many other radio stations, without the endless loop of ad's for open houses with the Villages Property management, erectile disfunction products, and the like. If I hear them playing the Village People one more time I might smash my radio. I put disco right up there with rap as one of the types of music (calling it music is a major stretch) that I simply can not tolerate. WVLG is rapidly loosing it's spot on our radios speed dial. And to make matters worse, they are now playing the disco in FM, which the music simply doesn't deserve. I guess they are no longer catering to the generation of people who already own homes in the Villages and are reaching out to a younger generation of future home buyers. Not happy about it.

Haven’t listened to this Villages radio station yet, I noticed their tower is close to where I wanted to buy at first, but then I checked the EMF waves that were emitted. What genres do they play? Country, rock, classical, metal, pop, house etc? I guess it isn’t rap from your posts.

I was talking to someone a while ago at Starbucks who worked for T.V. Entertainment and they said they aim for -50 years from current. So that's around 1970. Those who are into 50's music will likely find it sliding up a decade or two around here. If one is in their 80's you better start covering your ears or dusting off your old 78's. :D

Edit: I'd love to see a current age distribution graph of the current population of The Villages. I'd guess the "top of the curve" would be in Mid 60's? Once you see that you'll be aware of what music is on the way to the squares. :) All the new growth over the last few years certainly are not those in their late 70's and up.
