WGFY (1480 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Charlotte, North Carolina. The station is owned by the Charlotte Advent Media Corporation and it broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format as a network affiliate of LifeTalk Radio. WGFY carries hourly newscasts from the Salem Radio Network (SRN News).

On May 25, 2016, WGFY was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to increase daytime power to 12,000 watts. At night, it reduces power to 5,000 watts to avoid interfering with other stations on 1480 AM. WGFY uses a directional antenna at all times.
