Before the launch of KOOL, the station aired an Adult Contemporary format as "Lite 106," and before that, broadcast hits from the 1960s and 1970s.
At Noon on December 28, 2009, KQLL-FM relaunched as 1990s Hits 106.1 Gen-X Radio with the first song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.
At 6 AM on July 3, 2012, KTGX began stunting with all-Christmas music, all-Bruce Springsteen beginning at 9 AM, and at 10 AM, the audio of the film "Twister" and an announcer saying: "Warning! There's a twister blowing into town. It's an F5, and it's coming... soon." At Noon, the station flipped to country, branded as "The Twister." The first song on "The Twister" was "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood.
