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. [2]

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". [3]
