WTTH (96.1 FM) is an urban adult contemporary music formatted radio station based in Margate City, New Jersey. It serves the general Atlantic City, New Jersey, metro area. Its studios are located at the Bayport One complex in West Atlantic City, and its transmitter is located in the Casino district in Atlantic City.

History

WTTH first signed on as WFOU in 1989. It first changed its call letters 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 the 93.1 WDTH frequency until 2009, when it 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 "Tom Joyner Morning Show," which airs weekday mornings from 6-10 a.m. Music the rest of the day is automated. On weekends, WTTH ceases to play modern songs and plays classic R&B and soul songs, in what it calls "Back in the Day Weekends." On Saturdays, the station simulcasts the popular "Bob Pantano Saturday Night Dance Party" from Philadelphia's 98.1 WOGL. On Sunday mornings, WTTH airs the nationally syndicated "Gospel Traxx" hosted by Walt "Baby" Love. It also airs "The Sunday Breakfast Club," hosted by Atlantic City personality Ray Tyler, currently the station's only live DJ.

On December 13, 2011, WTTH began airing "Kissing After Dark" hosted by Lenny Green, a syndicated show originating from WBLS in New York City. The show airs weeknights beginning at 7 p.m.
