WMID is a radio station in Atlantic City, New Jersey which plays "the classic oldies." Its parent company is Equity Communications (the station was at one time owned by entertainer Merv Griffin).

During the fifties and sixties, WMID-AM was one of the dominant Top 40 stations of the Atlantic City area (in its peak years as a Top 40 station, it was known as "The Jersey Giant"). As AM broadcasting listenership declined in the late seventies, the station went through a series of format changes (including Adult Contemporary and Big Band) before settling on the oldies format.

Classic Oldies 1340AM WMID focuses on the history of music and radio when rock & roll was on AM radio. The mission of WMID is to re-create the old days when – the memorable sound of rock & roll dominated the AM frequency, a sound no one who experienced has ever forgotten. WMID plays the songs and voices – the timeless music that’s never left the rock and roll generation – all day and all night. The motto of the station is: "It’s the Music you grew up with on the Station you grew up with: AM 1340 Classic Oldies WMID".
