Do they still play the kind of music at night that's supposed to be rather quiet? I know when I lived there up until 2007, (July), they had easy listening night music. And I thank all of you for your nice replies.

Forty years from now they'll be playing Justin Beiber. And not just on the radio, that's what will be in the squares as well.

I heard someone say the other night that there may be a Beibermaniac club forming in the distant future.

My only problem is, I don't have an AM radio. And As of now, they don't stream.

I was kinda surprised at that too. I guess they figure the target audience is so localized, there is no need.

Many AM stations around the country are adding low power FM "translators" to try hang on to their listeners who don't have AM radios or are fed up with low fidelity, static, and weak signal at night. A low power translator would easily cover The Villages and greatly increase the sound quality.

There is another local AM station that plays oldies. It is WLBE 790 AM in Leesburg.

IMHO, streaming would be a great marketing tool for WVLG. It would also let snow birds and other part time residents keep up with the activities going on here in TV. I can't believe that the cost could not be underwritten by a sponsor. I was involved with a low power FM in Dayton, Ohio before moving to TV that streamed local HS football games for the Wayne Warriors. The whole cost was paid by a donation from the Booster Club.

If the station really is an arm of the developer, why wouldn't they want to get the word out about TV by streaming on the internet?

I would like to see WVLG streaming as well. I seem to recall an older thread where it was stated WVLG didn't want to pay the music royalty fees.

Sun City Center has a streaming station that can be picked up on TuneIn radio. If they can do it we should too.

This is something I've asked for in the last two surveys. I don;t have any AM radios except in my car!

the only time I hear it is at the squares. At home it's Pandora and on the road it's sirius.

Rob Newton was a very talented DJ here at WVLG and we were lucky to have him as long as we did . Sorry he's gone.......no offense to all of the other DJ

I would love it - it would be great to be able to listen when we are not there. It would also be great if you could get the Daily sun mailed up north
