BEK TV and Below Zero Wrestling Announce Partnership to Bring Professional Wrestling to Network

Below Zero Wrestling (BZW), co-owned by North Dakota native Nick Stokke and South Dakota’s Zach Were, merges sport and entertainment into a thrilling experience that captivates audiences of all ages. Their journey began with a dream to create regional wrestling live events and became a reality with their first event in 2021. Since then, BZW has successfully organized more than 30 events, primarily in North Dakota, showcasing professional wrestlers from across the Upper Midwest and beyond.

“We’re excited to bring our unique brand of action to screens statewide, reaching new fans and giving our long-time followers more way to experience us,” says Nick Stokke.

About BEK TV BEK TV is one of the only locally-owned, non-corporate, television broadcasting networks remaining in the country and produces more local content than any other television station in the Midwest. It broadcasts in North Dakota on over-the-air television and across the world via streaming on BEK TV+.

The concept behind BEK TV’s programming is to provide a media service platform that is unscripted and uncensored. The majority of BEK TV hosts are untrained broadcasters who share their perspectives and views on topics and issues that people are talking about. The BEK network never controls the messaging.

BEK TV is the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 winner of the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, selected by the people for “Best Local TV Station”. BEK TV host Lori Hinz is the winner of the 2024 “Best TV Personality” award. Both were chosen by the people.
