Life 107.1 Promotes Kristy Heilman and Welcomes Rob Newton

West Des Moines, IA– January 10, 2025 – Life 107.1 (KNWI – Des Moines) has made two significant updates to its team. Kristy Heilman has been promoted to Assistant Program Director, and Rob Newton is rejoining the station as Engagement Specialist and Evening Host.

Kristy has been promoted to Assistant Program Director and will continue to co-host the morning show. She previously served as Creative Services Director. Kristy’s deep understanding of the format and her passion for its mission have positioned her well for this role.

Rob Newton rejoins the Life 107.1 team after working as a producer with CBS affiliate Channel 8 (KCCI) in Des Moines. Rob previously served part-time with Life 107.1 in 2022 and 2023. Originally from California, Rob has made Iowa his home and is eager to reconnect with the Life 107.1 audience in his new role as Engagement Specialist and Evening Host. Rob will play a key role in building deeper connections with listeners through events and community engagement.

“It’s been a season of change at Life 107.1 and we’re so excited about the ways God is continuing to grow the team.” Said Taylor Hohulin, Life 107.1 Program Director. “Kristy is someone who instinctively understands this format and genuinely loves the music, and the Life 107.1 listeners are about to gain a new friend as Rob starts showing up at our events, deepening relationships with the people we serve every day. I can’t wait to see how God is going to use this team in the next chapter of the Life 107.1 story.”

With Kristy’s promotion comes a new opening for the Creative Services Director. More information about this opening and the process for applying can be found at https://jobs.unwsp.edu
