WFGW (106.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Contemporary Christian music format simulcast with WMIT in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Licensed to Norris, Tennessee, USA, the station serves the Knoxville area. The station is a noncommercial, listener supported ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association agreed in 2012 to lease the-then WRJK from South Central Communications, the first acquisition by the company since WMIT in 1963. Prior to 2012, WRJK simulcast WQJK "Jack FM", an adult hits station with the slogan "Playing what we want". The WMIT simulcast began February 8, 2012.

Later in 2012, WLYT was acquired outright by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association through its licensee, Blue Ridge Broadcasting, and the call letters were then changed to WFGW.

WFGW simulcasts WMIT for most of the day. However, it airs separate morning and midday shows, and its Sunday schedule is slightly different as well. Combined, the two stations provide at least secondary coverage from Knoxville to Charlotte, North Carolina.
