McNabb Comes Home To Saga Des Moines
• Leigh McNabb has returned to her hometown of Des Moines, IA — and to Saga Communications — as she joins Saga’s Des Moines Radio Group as PD of Classic Hits 93-3 KIOA, starting Monday, Sept. 16.
McNabb arrives from Kansas City, where she had been PD/midday talent at Entercom Hot AC KZPT (99.7 The Point) since July 2015. Prior to that she was APD/MD/middays at Top 40 sister WXSS (103.7 Kiss FM)/Milwaukee. Earlier in her career McNabb did mornings at WZOK/Rockford, IL and middays at Saga’s WLRW (Mix 94.5)/Champaign-Urbana, IL.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring someone with Leigh’s experience and qualifications back to her hometown,” said Tom Nankival, VP/GM of the Des Moines Radio Group. “Her passion for KIOA’s heritage is unparalleled and the fact that she is already so well respected in our building made her the obvious choice to rejuvenate the station and lead our terrific team.”
No less thrilled and excited is Ms. McNabb herself, who exclaimed, “I’m thrilled to be coming home to not only Des Moines, but to Saga, where my radio journey began 20 years ago. KIOA was the radio station my family listened to growing up and to help this heritage Classic Hits station continue its growth today is an honor. Big thanks to Saga VP of Programming Bob Lawrence and Tom Nankival for helping make this a reality!”
