Is Rob Newton still there? I always enjoyed listening to him on the radio. I miss that station and wished it was on the internet so I could listen in.

Oh so cool, I didn't know he was doing this...thank you so much

[HiHoSteveO]

You're welcome.
I'm glad I bookmarked it.

I am too, now if I can get it on my internet radio in my bedroom, that'd be great. I have a Logitech internet radio. I'll see if I can get the Tune In on it.

I don't think the music they play is as good as it was 2 years ago. Seems something changed....? more new.....kinda like the oldies more..

just my opinion.....anyway...

I think they are sort of facing a demographic dilemma. As a new generation of retirees start moving down here, their version of "oldies" music is much newer than say the 70+ residents.

I think they are doing an OK job of providing a variety. But honestly, it's not my No. 1 preset.

It would be nice if they arrived in the "20th century" and started to stream their station.

That's just it, they're in the "20th Century". They need to move into the current "21st Century".

.......and I'm ready for an FM station in The Villages.

Nice article about Rob Newton in the April Style magazine, Villages Edition.
Its online but you have to jump thru too many hoops to view.
Music on his new website is just the beginning of what he has planned.

Stream Spotify if you want music.

I agree. The music has changed from 50's and 60's to a lot of 70's music. They are changing with the "times".

When we came down here 7 yrs ago...they played 50's and 60's music. Around 3 or 4 yrs ago....they began to do more 70's and 80's (my kids genre of music). I e-mailed the station just to ask and was told by the guy on the air...the station manager decides and he just plays it. Not sure that's what truly happens or not. But he didn't really answer my question of whether there was a big change. Now...today you'll still hear that genre still being played and the (oldies) of the 50's and 60's is played mostly in the evening, I believe. I'm generalizing but if you shop on the "north" end of T.V. the folks look a bit older...as one goes further "south" you'll see the boomers. Folks who look much younger.
