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: WMGF is licensed for HD Radio operations and carries Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz network programming on its HD2 subchannel. In August 2011, the HD2 subchannel began simulcasting on an FM translator at 102.5 MHz. The translator, W273CA, was leased by Clear Channel, calling itself "102.5 WLOQ," although those call letters were not officially assigned to the station. The translator restored the smooth jazz format for analog radio listeners in the immediate Orlando area several weeks after the original 103.1 WLOQ dropped the format in favor of Spanish tropical music as WHKQ (now WOTW). W273CA's area of strongest coverage includes the western suburbs of Orlando, including Winter Garden, Pine Hills, Ocoee, and Clermont.
  The simulcast on 102.5 FM ended on February 12, 2014, when W273CA flipped to a simulcast of co-owned talk radio station WFLF. Smooth Jazz WLOQ continues as the HD2 channel of 107.7 and on the iHeartRadio streaming service on line, although it is no longer available on conventional radios in Orlando.
