You mean there are actually people who still listen to radio! Do they like being bombarded with ads and having no control over the content? Do they also still have an 8-track player in their vehicle and a VCR at home? Wow! I will stick with Pandora and Spotify (look them up you fogies).

I like that they are starting to play better music now.

I just say, "Alexa, play 70s rock...." Voila, 70s rock plays.

No worries. Stations out of Ocala and Orlando we can listen to and of course huge genre selections of music from the internet stations on computer, phone and TV.
Wide world of music out there!

A radical format change would include at least one day per year not being a perfect day to tour an open house!

Out with the Oldies; in with the Not as Oldies...

Free Spotify is the answer

Wow I tried that and the next day a payloader showed up in the driveway and the driver asked where I wanted him to put all the boulders.

Just to clarify, WVLG is not anything like your average radio station. They don't depend on ratings, they are owned by The Villages and used exclusively as a marketing tool, and not by some large corporation who has to answer to shareholders and the almighty bottom line. Yes, there is some local advertising, but that's only because there isn't aren't many other outlets for clients to spend their ad dollars.

Programming a playlist to an audience with an age range from 50 to 90 is almost impossible. At some point every single listener is going to hear something they won't like...it's too old, it's too new, it's too much rock...ect. The best way I can describe is, Trainwreck Radio.
