KFAT 92.9 welcomes Don Megga back to the Anchorage airwaves. The Rhythmic CHR icon returns as afternoon host and Production/Imaging Director this week.
What We Know Megga spent 25 years building KFAT 92.9 Anchorage since its 1999 launch. During that tenure, he held multiple positions including Music Director, Imaging Director, and Program Director. Additionally, he worked various on-air shifts across the station’s dayparts. He departed KFAT last year, marking a significant shift in the station’s operations.
What They Said Newly appointed VP/General Manager Cat Okegawa emphasized Megga’s impact on the station and community. “Don’s connection to KFAT, our listeners, and the Anchorage community is undeniable,” Okegawa stated. “He helped launch this station and shaped what KFAT represents. We are thrilled to welcome him home.” Okegawa further noted that Megga’s return honors the station’s history while restoring critical elements of its identity.
What Remains Unclear The reasons behind Megga’s departure last year remain unspecified. Furthermore, no details emerged regarding other format or staffing adjustments at Ohana Media Group’s Anchorage cluster. Additionally, the station hasn’t outlined its broader strategic plans moving forward.
What It Means Megga’s return reflects a broader strategic shift at Ohana Media Group’s Anchorage cluster. The station clearly recognizes that building authentic listener relationships matters more than chasing external talent. This move signals management’s commitment to stability and community trust during a period of significant change. Moreover, Anchorage radio is experiencing considerable momentum—and bringing back a 25-year institution suggests the cluster is repositioning for the long haul.
