context_page_description: WMGF is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Mount Dora, and serving Orlando and Central Florida. It is owned by iHeartMedia and airs an adult contemporary radio format. Weekday mornings, WMGF features the "Magic Morning Show" hosted by Chad Pitt and Leslye Gale. Gale co-hosted with John Forsythe from 2010 to 2018, when Forsythe retired after a 50-year career in radio. Each year, the station switches to a Christmas music format from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day.
  WMGF operates out of iHeartMedia's Orlando offices and studios in Maitland. It broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 98,000 watts from a transmitter off Miller Road in Orange City, Florida. The station has two HD Radio signals. The first carries the adult contemporary format and the second airs smooth jazz, informally using the call sign of a past Orlando jazz station, WLOQ.
context_section_description: In 1978, Sudbrink Broadcasting bought the station. In 1981, the call letters switched to WJYO, airing a soft adult contemporary format as Joy 108. (The WJYO call sign is now used on a Christian radio station in Fort Myers, Florida at 91.5 FM.) In 1987, the station was bought by Metroplex Communications of Orlando.  In 1993, Paxson Communications, owned by Florida millionaire Bud Paxson, bought the station for $5.6 million, coupled with WWZN (now WPRD).  Paxson changed the call sign to WMGF, calling the station Magic 107.7.
