WAMG (890 kHz, "La Mega 96.5") is a commercial AM radio station in the Boston market licensed to Dedham, Massachusetts. It is owned by Gois Broadcasting. It broadcasts in Spanish, and plays bachata, merengue, salsa and Latin pop. WLS in Chicago is the dominant (class A) station on 890 AM; WAMG must reduce power during the nighttime hours and uses a directional antenna to protect the nighttime skywave signal of WLS.

WAMG also operates translator W243DC (96.5 FM) in Boston.
