The WVLG audience is mainly residents of The Villages, an active lifestyle retirement community in central Florida. "The Voice of The Villages" station is owned and operated by Villages Communications in tandem with The Villages Daily Sun newspaper, and is affiliated with Fox News Radio.

Often broadcasting from Lake Sumpter Landing, one of The Villages' town squares, the "small fishing shack" building at 995 Lake Shore Drive was intentionally designed to also give a behind-the-scenes-look into the studio while the DJs have a direct view of the action through large windows surrounding the sound studio.

Favourite program or on air person/announcer:
This station is played in each of the town squares throughout The Villages retirement community. Built around 2011, one of the two main broadcast studios resembles an old fishing shack (see Gallery) at Lake Sumter Landing. The studio is surrounded by large plate glass windows on three sides, so passersby can see and interact with the DJs and the on-air personalities can keep an eye on the activities around the square. Sometimes people on the street get invited inside for a quick on-air interview.
