WTSN carries local and syndicated talk programming. The station began carrying the Boston-based Howie Carr Show in late afternoons on February 16, 2015.

WTSN features local news updates throughout the day, in addition to NH1 News and CBS Radio News updates.
WTSN first signed on in 1956. The call sign was chosen because the original owner was the Twin State Network, which owned radio stations in both New Hampshire and Vermont.
In August 2015 WTSN and its sister station WBYY joined with Aruba Capital Holdings's WXEX and Port Broadcasting's WNBP and WWSF to form Coastal Media Partners, with Port Broadcasting management assuming immediate oversight of WTSN and WBYY. The merger failed to close, and in April 2016 WTSN and sister station WBYY were sold to Binnie Media for $2.1 million.The sale officially closed in October 2016.
