WSGW (790 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Saginaw, Michigan, owned by Connoisseur Media. It simulcasts a news/talk radio format with sister station 100.5 WSGW-FM. The two stations identify themselves as "100.5 and 790 Newsradio WSGW". The studios are on Tittabawassee Road.
By day, WSGW is powered at 5,000 watts. At night, to protect other stations on 790 AM from interference, it reduces power to 1,000 watts. The station uses a directional antenna with a six-tower array. The transmitter is on Uncle Henry Road in Blumfield Township.
