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, audio from the 1996 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.
