WZGC FM ("92.9 The Game") is an Atlanta FM radio station broadcasting a sports talk radio format. WZGC is owned by CBS Radio, along with WVEE FM 103.3 and WAOK AM 1380. It shares studios with the other two sister stations at Colony Square in Midtown Atlanta and has a transmitter in unincorporated DeKalb County west of Emory University.
WZGC HD2 (currently off-air) carried an Americana format branded as "Dave Roots".
The station was one of the most rigid Atlanta FM radio stations in terms of name and callsign. Prior to 1972, it was the first full-time FM Atlanta classical music station, with the call letters WGKA-FM. It changed to WZGC in 1972, when it began as an album-oriented rock station. It switched to Top 40 in March 1973 as "Z-93", then to an urban format during the summer of 1987, and then to classic rock in January 1989, while retaining the "Z-93" moniker.
The name change to "Dave FM" and format switch to adult album alternative came on July 22, 2004, following a stunt featuring all-Dave Matthews Band music. Dave FM's first song was "Orange Crush" by R.E.M..
