WYGM (740 kHz "96.9 The Game"), is a commercial AM radio station in Orlando, Florida, United States. It is owned by iHeartMedia and airs an all sports radio format. Programming is simulcast on FM translator station W245CL at 96.9 MHz in nearby Deltona, Florida, and uses its FM dial position in its moniker, "96.9 The Game." It is also heard on the HD-2 channel of co-owned WJRR 101.1.
WYGM has studios and offices in iHeart's Orlando facility in Maitland. It operates at the maximum AM power permitted by the Federal Communications Commission, 50,000 watts at all times, but because AM 740 is a clear-channel Canadian frequency, reserved for Class A CBL in Toronto, WYGM must use a directional antenna. By contrast, WYGM's translator operates at only 250 watts. WYGM's transmitter is off Tower Pine Drive in Winter Haven.
Evenings, late nights and weekends, WYGM carries the Fox Sports Radio Network, which is syndicated by Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of WYGM's parent company, iHeartMedia. Each weekday, the station features local shows, beginning with "Open Mike" hosted by Mike Bianchi. A local weekday late morning show is called "The Beat of Sports" with Marc Daniels and Jerry Greene of the Orlando Sentinel. Weekday afternoons are hosted by Brandon Kravitz and the Shot Doctor, in a show called "The Sports RX." WYGM also carries The Herd with Colin Cowherd in early afternoons, syndicated by Fox Sports.
