The Touch once operated a simulcast on 105.5
WBNJ

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.
On August 7, 2023, Equity Communications announced that it would sell WTTH, along with its three other FM stations in the Atlantic City-Cape May market, to
iHeartMedia
