The Villages app for IOS (IPad and iPhone) has 7 menu item on the home screen. WVLG listen live is one of them. Not sure if this app exists for any other platform. If you don’t see it as an option, you’re not using the Villages app. I don’t believe it’s an option from the Villages web site.

I have the latest app version on my Android tablet and phone. There are only 6 menu items on the home screen. So, maybe it does not work for Androids.

I'm sure glad you couldn't find it either. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it on my Android phone, and still couldn't find a link to WVLG. I was just getting ready to enter a reply asking where the link was on the App, when I saw your reply. If anyone ever sees it on an Android, please post so I will know to look for it.

Goldwingnut is very reliable. But I’m wondering if this is a very late April Fools Joke?

No April Fools on this, I've installed it on 2 iPads and on my iPhone, all have it and play the radio station. My guess is that it's not available for an android yet.

I only have one android tablet and it's attached to my drone's controller, NOTHING gets installed on that unit so I won't even start to look for it there.

If you have the app on your iphone, you need to update it. The update came out only a couple of days ago. If you don't update your Villages app, you won't find the radio station.

I wasn’t able to get the new features by simply updating the app on my iPhone. I first had to delete the current app.
Then when I reinstalled the app, the new options including streaming audio appeared! Like magic!

Mystery solved I guess. Will have to wait to see if it will be available on an Android device.

I tried that with my Android, but it didn't work.

Got it working on my Bride's I-Phone.

My Samsung does not have the option.

TV is taking one step at a time with technology.

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.
This may be a stupid question, but is the Villages app that can stream WVLG the same as the Villages GPS app?

No, it's not the GPS app. It's a free app called "The Villages App" (at least on iPhone) put out by The Villages. It has things like movie and entertainment schedules and other stuff , and a stream of the villages radio station
