Default WVLG now streaming on Villages app

I just noticed last night that the latest version of The Villages app now streams WVLG live. Much better sound quality than the AM broadcast with its 60’s tinny thin sound. It’s still not streaming on iHeart Radio which would make listening a lot more convenient. It’s a little progress.

I would listen to the station a lot more if the sound quality was better. Hello Villages are you listening? We know you’re out there reading all the web traffic! Time to upgrade the radio station to modern times.

And while they are at it, they could venture the music into the 80's and 90's to reach a broader audience. I find the radio station extremely outdated!!

You can also get it on Xfinity channel 99. The station may be outdated, but so am I, and that is why I like it.

The AM broadcasting dooms the sound quality. I remember some time ago AM stereo was tried but failed. A lot of AM stations that played music moved to talk radio as FM stereo was the choice format. Perhaps WVLG will follow some day.

It would to be better if there was more music, rather than Villages Real Estate selling homes as it was just 15 years ago

I would love to see WLTV on FM, it is a real pain to change radio from FM (normal mode for me) to AM, at least 3 button pushes, IF I left WLTV as the last station on the AM band, otherwise additional button pushes to get to the station.

Cannot figure how to stream it either. Can someone please provide a detailed explanation as to how to play the station on the app?
