Longtime Fort Wayne broadcaster Dirk Rowley joined WANE 15 as evening anchor in August 2018. Before TV, Dirk spent 30 years in radio, much of that hosting perennial favorite “Majic in the Morning with Dirk and Jeannette” on WAJI-FM. The pair led the annual Riley Radiothon, raising roughly $1 million to help sick children. Dirk was often the only male reporting daily from the annual Vera Bradly Outlet sale. Dirk also used his radio show to help in the early development of Kate’s Kart children’s charity. He has worked or lived in all four quadrants of the Summit City.

Dirk began his broadcasting career in Marion, IN, working full-time while attending Eastbrook High School. He continued working while attending Taylor University, where he received a bachelor's degree in broadcasting. He worked briefly in Las Vegas and South Bend before returning to Fort Wayne where he worked at WQHK, WMEE, and WBTU. Dirk married a Snider grad, and his three children are Carroll High School graduates. His family has attended Pathway Community church since it began. He golfs poorly, reads constantly, and goes to restaurants like it’s his job.
