WXGL (107.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to St. Petersburg, Florida, and serving the Tampa Bay Area. It is owned by Cox Media Group and calls itself "The Eagle". WXGL airs a classic hits radio format that leans toward classic rock, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s, although occasionally going older. Unlike rival classic hits station WRBQ-FM, The Eagle does not play pop or dance music from artists such as Madonna or Michael Jackson. WXGL broadcasts in the HD Radio format.
