STEVE HEATLEY

STEVE HEATLEY after graduating SUNY Fredonia in ‘00, spent time traveling Australia for 4 months. Upon return, he started his TV career as a PA at Empire Sports Network. After the station folded, he went on to tour the country as a guitar player in a rock n’ roll band until WKBW hired him as a Promotions Producer. There he became involved with the TV show “Official Heat”. As both a producer and on-air host, Steve interviewed bands, actors, rappers and all kinds of entertainers. His most memorable moment came when he was set to interview the shock/horror/metal band “GWAR” at the House of Horrors. When his cameraman realized he forgot an adapter and left the venue to go to Radio Shack, in walks GWAR in full costume ready to be interviewed with only Steve there. He grabbed the camera and interviewed the band as a one man show! It proves that the TV business will throw you curveballs and you have to be ready to roll with them. He has since spent 10 years as a commercial producer at WUTV and now does freelance production.
