KCCI’s Scott Reister Named Sports Director

Hearst-owned CBS affiliate KCCI Des Moines, Iowa, announced today that weekend anchor Scott Reister is being promoted to sports director.

Reister has served in his current role for nine years. In addition to the college athletes of the Big 12 and Big 10 at Iowa State and the University of Iowa, Scott has extensively covered high school championships.

“Scott has done an outstanding job finding stories that go beyond the scoreboard,” said KCCI News Director Dave Busiek.

Reister came to KCCI from Washington State where he was the sports director at KNDU in the Tri-Cities/Yakima area.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas, and after college became a sports anchor in Waco.
