History

WTTH first signed on as WFOU in 1989. It first changed its callsign to WMXL in 1990 before becoming WTTH, branded as "The Touch," in 1991. As The Touch, WTTH plays an Urban AC format.
The Touch once operated a simulcast on 105.5 WBNJ in Cape May County from 1994 until 1999. The simulcast then moved to 93.1/WDTH until 2009, when WDTH became Easy 93.1.
In 2004 and 2005, WTTH and its then-simulcast WDTH were two of the earliest stations in the country to flip to an all-Christmas format.

Programming

WTTH is the Atlantic City home of the nationally syndicated "Steve Harvey Morning Show." Up until August 9, 2019, the station was home to the "Tom Joyner Morning Show."
