Ronald Lee Steele is an American local news anchor at KWWL in Waterloo, Iowa.[1][2][3] Since 1974, he has been at KWWL, where he started as the sports director, and is Iowa's longest sitting anchor. KWWL-TV is the NBC affiliate for the Cedar Rapids–Waterloo–Iowa City–Dubuque television market.
While he was still KWWL's sports director, he did play-by-play for NBC Sports and ESPN. He was the original play-by-play voice of the Iowa Television Network, which broadcast University of Iowa basketball games over a statewide network. He also was in Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War,[4] and at the White House when the hostages came home from Iran and he interviewed President George W. Bush on Air Force One.[citation needed]
in April 2024, Steele will celebrate 50 years at the station. Week-long highlights of his half-century career will be shown along with a 30-minute special.
