WZGV (730 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Cramerton, North Carolina and serving the Charlotte metropolitan area. It carries a sports radio format and is owned by Marty Hurney's 2G Media, Inc. Most programming comes from the ESPN Radio Network, with a local afternoon show called "The Afternoon Rush." The radio studios are on Morehead Street just outside downtown Charlotte.
WZGV’s daytime transmitter power is 10,000 watts, but because 730 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear channel frequency, WZGV greatly reduces power at night to 190 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Tar Heel Road in Charlotte.[2] Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator 97.5 W248CO, also in Charlotte.
