WGSO (990 AM) is a radio station licensed to New Orleans, Louisiana. The station is owned by Northshore Radio, Inc, a non-profit corporation. The station seeks donations on its website and on the air. It airs a mix of brokered programming and talk. It carries The Mark Levin Show from Westwood One weeknights and updates from USA Radio News. The radio studios are on Carondelet Street.

By day, WGSO is powered at 600 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But 990 AM is a clear channel frequency so WGSO must reduce power at night to 310 watts to avoid interference to other stations. The transmitter is off River Road in Jefferson, Louisiana, near the Mississippi River.[2]
