WGL (1250 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Fort Wayne, Indiana, and owned by Brian R. Walsh. The station broadcasts an All-news format, branded as "WGL Newsradio 1250 and 105.5". WGL is one of the oldest stations in the Fort Wayne metropolitan area.

Studios are located on Cass Street and the transmitter site is located in Fort Wayne's East Central neighborhood in a facility also used by WIOE. WGL simulcasts over Fort Wayne translator W288EI (105.5 FM), which was added on March 5, 2021.

High school football and basketball, primarily Bishop Luers and Bishop Dwenger, began on August 15, 2021. University of Saint Francis football and basketball will be added in the fall of 2022.

WGL was first licensed, with the sequentially issued call letters WHBJ, to the Lauer Auto Company at 2109 South Calhoun Street on March 3, 1925. It was Fort Wayne's third broadcasting station, preceded by the United Radio Corporation's WFAS in 1922, and the Strand Theater's WDBV in 1924, although both of these stations had left the airwaves by the time WHBJ debuted.

In 1926 Chester W. Keen took over WHBJ and changed the call letters to WCWK to reflect his initials. Following the establishment of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), stations were initially issued a series of temporary authorizations starting on May 3, 1927. In addition, stations were informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard. On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued General Order 32, which notified 164 stations, including WCWK, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it." However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.

On November 11, 1928, the FRC implemented a major reallocation of station transmitting frequencies, as part of a reorganization resulting from its implementation of General Order 40. In early 1929, WCWK was assigned to 1370 kHz. In 1925 WOWO had been established by the Main Auto Supply Co., with studios above the company's downtown factory, and in 1928 Keen sold WCWK to WOWO owner Fred Zieg. WCWK's call letters were changed to WGL ("World's Greatest Loudspeaker"), taking a call sign previously used by the current WADO in New York City.

WOWO and WGL were owned by the Zieg family until their sale to Westinghouse in 1936. On March 29, 1941, WGL moved to 1450 kHz, as part of the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement. In August 1941, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began implementation of a "duopoly" rule, which restricted licensees from operating more than one radio station in a given market. Westinghouse decided to retain WOWO and sold WGL to the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation in 1945.

WGL received permission to move to 1250 kHz in 1946. On September 24, 1947, the station's power was increased from 250 to 1,000 watts. Subsequently, it was purchased by the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. The call letters of WGL were reinterpreted as "Wayne's Great Lady", referring to Helene Foelliger, who had markedly improved circulation of the News-Sentinel since becoming publisher less than a decade earlier, when she became the youngest, as well as one of the first female, publishers of a major newspaper. William Kunkle, publisher of the morning Journal-Gazette, followed by establishing WKJG (William Kunkle Journal-Gazette) in 1947, but while WKJG established a television station in 1953, WGL had no television license.
