WZDG (88.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a southern gospel format. Licensed to Scotts Hill, North Carolina, United States, it serves the Eastern North Carolina area. The station is currently owned by Carolina Christian Radio Inc.

WZDG was a Christian rock station known as "The Edge", with the morning show The Dive with Scott and Earl. However, a drop in donations, especially the loss of one large donor, led to the change on November 12, 2012, to Christian talk and teaching, with programming previously heard on WMYT.{{cite news|url=http://downtownwilmington.wect.com/news/business/60136-local-christian-radio-station-saying-goodbye|title=Local Christian radio station saying goodbye|first=Zach|last=Hunt|work=WECT|date=November 8, 2012|accessdate=December 13, 2012}}

In September 2021, WZDG changed their format from Christian talk (which moved to WDVV 89.7 FM Wilmington) to southern gospel, branded as Hope Radio".[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/215691/hope-radio-expands-in-wilmington/ Hope Radio Expands In Wilmington] Radioinsight - December 2, 2021
