WWMI (1380 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to St. Petersburg, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay radio market. It is owned by Relevant Radio, a non-profit Catholic broadcasting organization based in Wisconsin. WWMI carries its Relevant Radio network programming.

By day, WWMI is powered at 9,800 watts non-directional. To protect other stations on 1380 AM from interference, at night it reduces power to 6,500 watts and switches to a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is co-located with the tower for WTSP television, off Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg.
