WGES (680 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to St. Petersburg, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay area. It broadcasts a Spanish-language Christian radio format and is owned by Revival Ministries International, Inc. The call sign refers to the Book of Genesis from The Bible.
By day, WGES is powered at 800 watts, using a non-directional antenna. As 680 AM is a clear channel frequency, WGES must reduce power at night to 140 watts to avoid interference to other stations. The transmitter is off San Martin Boulevard NE near Riviera Bay in St. Petersburg.
