Yes, I actually have it working on all 3 browsers at once. Sounds neat with them all slightly delayed. Win 10 all latest updates applied.

iPhone users, the secret is delete the app then re-download. Not sure why it isn't automatically updating. Everything else does. Maybe they haven't finalized it yet.

Thanks for letting me know. My "problem" is the ad blocker which I use with all browsers. By turning it OFF for the streaming site, I'm Good To Go.

Oh Happy Day. There is a God in Heaven. Just got the updated app for my Samsung phone and also saved the streaming web site on to my laptop.

The only problem so far is that the stream on my smart phone stops after about 5 minutes, and I have to restart it. Hopefully that is just a temporary problem.

Thank you Villages media people!

With so many ways to listen to music, listening to this annoying station via AM is not the way to go.

If I didn’t have a place in The Villages, no way would I listen to this crappy station. But when I’m in RI it reminds me of where I’d rather be.

Maybe fix the MAP on the App, while they're fiddling with things?

Works great. My Villages app on my Android plays WVLG for a short while and then stops.

While I won't be listening to the WVLG app or on my laptop 24/7, it's kind of nice to hear it for an hour or so a day up here in Illinois. I even enjoy hearing the open house notices in the morning...maybe I'm the only one

That's the great thing about technology...if you don't like a TV show or a song on the radio, just turn off the TV or radio or switch to another station. With so many more media outlets available via the internet or satellite, our music, news, and talk choices are just about limitless.

I agree. We don’t listen to the station much while in RI but occasionally we do. And when we do it makes us feel a little closer to Villages. And that’s a good thing.

We also enjoy hearing the open house notices as we are still deciding whether we want to upgrade.

I love listening to WVLG on the AM radio in my 67 Chevelle. Before moving here, all I could listen to while driving my baby is talk radio. Now I can listen to my favorite tunes from the 60s.

Keep up the great work, WVLG.

When I am listening to the WVLG app on my car radio using bluetooth, why does the signal sometimes drop out sporadically and then come back on after a few minutes? Is it because the car is in motion and the 4G on my cell phone get disconnected and then reconnected?

That could happen. But, also, the station seems to cut out more often when listening to it through internet streaming. It is more stable when you listen to it live using the direct AM radio signal, although the sound quality may not be as good.

Just added WVLG's streaming site to my Kindle. My 3 year old Kindle that is probably almost an antique.
