WDYT (1220 AM) is a radio station licensed to Kings Mountain, North Carolina, serving the Charlotte metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Iglesia Nueva Vida of High Point and operated by Core Communications.[3] It simulcasts the mainstream urban radio format of WGIV (1370 AM).

WDYT is powered at 25,000 watts by day. Because 1220 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WDYT must greatly reduce power at night to 106 watts to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on FM translator station W281BY at 104.1 MHz.
