History[]

WTTR was placed on the air in 1953 by local businessman Russ Morgan, the first song broadcast was the Star Spangled Banner on the 4th of July. In the 1960s. Carroll County Broadcasting Company retained ownership of WTTR AM and FM until the station was sold to Shamrock Broadcasting in the early 1980s. Dwight Dingle managed WTTR from 1974 until his death in November, 2009.

Shortly after taking ownership, Shamrock moved the FM to Baltimore and after trying a number of formats from Country to Heavy Metal, eventually settled on its present Classic Rock format under the call letters WZBA. Shamrock sold WTTR to Sajak Broadcasting Corporation in 2005. In late September, 2013, Sajak Broadcasting announced an agreement to sell WTTR to the newly formed Hilltop Communications, LLC. Hilltop assumed ownership on 12/19/2013.

On January 1, 2014, WTTR shifted their format from oldies to classic hits of the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

On July 18, 2016, WTTR went live with their 102.3 FM translator frequency.
