WZGV (730 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Cramerton, North Carolina and serving the Charlotte metropolitan area. It carries a sports radio format and is owned by Marty Hurney's 2G Media, Inc. Most programming comes from the ESPN Radio Network, with a local afternoon show called "The Afternoon Rush." The radio studios are on Morehead Street just outside downtown Charlotte.
WZGV’s daytime transmitter power is 10,000 watts, but because 730 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear channel frequency, WZGV greatly reduces power at night to 190 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Tar Heel Road in Charlotte. Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator 97.5 W248CO, also in Charlotte.
