WMGG (1470 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Egypt Lake, Florida with a Spanish tropical format. WMGG serves the Tampa Bay area and is owned by Daniel de la Rosa, through licensee DRC Broadcasting, Inc. WMGG airs a Spanish language tropical radio format. The station uses the moniker "Ritmo 101.9".

WMGG's transmitter is off Cavacade Drive in Egypt Lake. It is powered at 2,800 watts by day. But at night, to protect other stations on AM 1470, WMGG reduces power to 800 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. It is licensed to broadcast using HD Radio technology under digital only MA3 operation, but has since switched back to analog only, despite "HD" remaining in the brand.
