WGMF (750 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Olyphant, Pennsylvania, and serving the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton radio market. Known as "Gem 99 and 100", it airs a classic hits format and is owned by Kevin Fitzgerald and Benjamin Smith, through licensee Geos Communications, LLC. WGMF is simulcast with co-owned 1460 WGMM in Tunkhannock, 1490 WGMA in Hazelton and 103.9 WGMF-FM in Dushore.
WGMF is a daytimer radio station. By day, it is powered at 1,600 watts using a non-directional antenna. But 750 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WSB in Atlanta. So at night, WGMF must go off the air to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on multiple FM translators around Northeast Pennsylvania: 93.9 FM in The Abingtons, 98.9 FM in Scranton, 99.9 FM in Wilkes-Barre, 100.1 FM in Hazleton and 100.9 FM in Tunkhannock.[2]
