AM and FM Radio at FVB

Unfortunately, at Freedom Village, we often have difficulty receiving AM and FM radio stations.This problem is mostly due to the construction of the buildings, whose thick walls provide privacy, but sometimes, depending on location, preclude reception of cell phone and radio signals. While cable TV circumvents the problem for television, radio has sometimes been a problem.
