Master of Ceremonies:
Master of Ceremonies: Rod Fowler, Anchor - KLKN
At an early age, Rod had a desire to work in broadcasting, which eventually led him to work at a small radio station. It was just the spark he needed and Rod enrolled at Iowa State University in Ames.
At that time, WOI-TV was only one of two TV stations owned and operated by a state university. During his college days, he worked part-time for WOI and was a DJ on a rock and roll radio station.
After graduation, with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communications, Rod remained at WOI-TV as a full-time reporter/anchor. When the opportunity arose for him to make a move within the company, he jumped on it. In 1995, Rod was offered the anchor position at sister station KLKN-TV.
