[edit] History

The station was originally authorized as an expanded band allocation in Princeton, New Jersey. It was granted its construction permit under the FCC-assigned call sign WAXK on March 6, 1998. On March 26, 1998, the station changed its call letters to WTTM, a call sign that had just been removed from its longtime home on 920 AM in Trenton, New Jersey.^[2] The new WTTM reached the air in 1999 with a sports format, mostly broadcasting programming from ESPN Radio. In 2002 the station was leased to a programmer that broadcast an Asian-oriented format. The lease arrangement ended in 2005 and shortly thereafter the station was relocated from Princeton to Lindenwold, moving it into the Philadelphia radio market.
