WTCG (870 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Mount Holly, North Carolina, and serving the Charlotte metropolitan area. It is owned by Fiorini Broadcasting, LLC.[2] It is managed by Bible Clarity, based in Birmingham, Alabama. WTCG has a Christian talk and teaching radio format.

By day, WTCG transmits with 5,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. Because 870 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for WWL in New Orleans, WTCG must sign off at night. WTCG's transmitter is off North Hoskins Road in Charlotte, near Interstate 85.[3] Programming is heard around the clock on 250 watt FM translator W222CW at 92.3 in Charlotte.[4]
