August 20 Program
 
Rick Coleman
KWWL Sports Director
 
Rick will join us to speak about the upcoming college football season.
 
Rick Coleman was born in Waterloo and grew up watching KWWL-TV. He's always been a sports "junkie," and some of Rick's early idols were Dan Rather, Bryant Gumbel, Brent Musberger, Max Robinson and KWWL's Ron Steele.
 
While in high school, Rick began working part time for KWWL-TV and radio, and was the very first McElroy Trust intern back in 1981.

Rick received his degree in Communications Studies from the University of Iowa in 1986, and began his career as a general assignment news reporter with KWWL. His natural love of sports, combined with a strong interest in communications, made his decision to move into sports reporting an easy one - and keeps him busy!

Rick is currently the KWWL Sports Director. He anchors KWWL's Friday Night Heroes and Athlete of the Week programs.

During Rick's free time he loves spending time with his family. Both parents, a brother, and two sisters live in Waterloo. He has four children -- two sons and two daughters. Rick also was recently married in Vegas!

Operation Warm Heats Up
Please continue supporting this excellent program that provides coats to children in the Waterloo Community School District.  Last year we were able to provide 1,200 coats and this year our goal is 1,500 coats.  To help in this goal and if you are a Cyclone fan, contact Steve about purchasing his 2 lower deck, 30 yard line tickets for the Akron game on Sept. 22nd or the Kansas State game on Nov. 24th.  These tickets are great and are going for over $80 each on Cyclone Ticket Exchange.  Please write a check to Operation Warm.  All donations and offers will be accepted so we can beat our goal of providing 1,500 coats to children in the Waterloo Community School District.
