Oakes Leaving Anchorage: 
Ohana KXLW/Anchorage, AK PD Scott Dwyer will assume OM duties for the cluster beginning in June when Tom Oakes departs the station after more than 12 years. "Last summer I faced cancer and beat it," Oakes tells Country Aircheck. "But with such a challenge comes one's assessment and consideration of what's important in life. After a great deal of thought, I've decided to head home." He is looking for his next opportunity in radio. Reach Oakes at 907-350-5666 or here.
