WGMF (750 kHz) is a classic hits AM radio station broadcasting from Olyphant, Pennsylvania, serving the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. WGMF covers much of northeastern Pennsylvania, including Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Referred to as "Gem 99 and 100", WQOR is owned by Kevin Fitzgerald and Benjamin Smith, through licensee Geos Communications, LLC, owner of WGMM in Tunkhannock, WAZL in Nanticoke, and WGMF-FM in Dushore. WGMF broadcasts at 1.6 kilowatts during the daytime.

Because it shares the same frequency as "clear channel" station WSB in Atlanta, WGMF broadcasts only during the daytime hours.
