WPOG (710 AM) is a radio station licensed to St. Matthews, South Carolina. It is owned and operated by Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg.{{cite web|url=http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?call=WPOG |title=WPOG Facility Record |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division }}

WPOG broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format, along with Southern gospel music. The station's transmitter is off Radio Road in St. Matthews.[https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=WPOG-AM&h=D Radio-Locator.com/WPOG] The signal covers the region of South Carolina between Charleston and Columbia.

Because it shares the same frequency as clear-channel station WOR in New York City, WPOG is a daytimer, required to go off the air at night when radio waves travel farther. The station's programming is heard around the clock on co-owned WWOS-FM 91.9 in St. George, South Carolina. WPOG is also simulcast on AM 810 WWOS in Walterboro, South Carolina.
