Ronald Lee Steele[2] is an American local news anchor at KWWL in Waterloo, Iowa.[3][4] 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,[5] 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]

He also taught at the University of Northern Iowa for 10 years from 2004 to 2014.
