Steve Heefner was one of the early KIOA jocks, working at the station as an air personality in the 1959-1961 era. Steve attended several of the KIOA Good Guy Reunions in the 80's and early 90's and still has family in the Des Moines area. After leaving KIOA, Steve moved on to bigger and better opportunities on the West Coast as did several other early KIOA personalities.
