WGKA (920 AM) – branded AM 920 The Answer – is a commercial conservative talk radio station licensed to Atlanta, Georgia, serving primarily the Atlanta metropolitan area. Currently owned by Salem Media Group, WGKA serves as the Atlanta affiliate for the Salem Radio Network and the Clemson Tigers football radio network. The WGKA studios are located on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, while the station transmitter resides near the Morningside Nature Preserve. Besides a standard analog transmission, WGKA is available online.

Historically, the station is perhaps better known as the original home of WGST, founded by the Georgia Institute of Technology; WGST's programming and call letters moved to 640 AM (now WBIN) via an intellectual property transaction in 1989.
