BEK TV Wins 'Best Local Television Station' for Fourth Consecutive Year - Voted by the People

Since its inception, BEK TV has grown into a full-service television station, offering a comprehensive range of programming that caters to diverse audiences. From news to sports, and investigative specials, BEK TV is committed to delivering content that our viewers are asking for. We produce a daily and weekly lineup of 30 programs, nearly half of which are produced, providing a platform for regional voices and stories that often go unheard on mainstream networks.

BEK Sports, a key component of BEK TV, has played a significant role in the station's success. Broadcasting more than 400 live sports events each year, BEK Sports covers high school, collegiate, and professional sports, ensuring that fans don’t miss a moment of the action. The lineup has recently expanded to include the Indoor Football League (IFL), the Professional Volleyball Federation (PVF), local dirt track racing, professional rodeo and most recently, professional and amateur bowling. This diverse range of sports programming makes BEK TV a go-to destination for sports enthusiasts.

In 2023, BEK TV's excellence was recognized on a national level when it achieved an impressive ranking via Comscore, a leading broadcast ranking company. Out of 650 channels available on cable, satellite, streaming, and over-the-air platforms, our network ranked #6 during early, prime, and late hours. This remarkable achievement underscores our growing influence and popularity across various viewing platforms.

Winning the Best of the Best award for a fourth year in a row is not just a victory for BEK TV; it’s a reflection of the station’s commitment to serving its community. Being chosen by the people speaks volumes about the demand for BEK TV’s unique brand of uncensored and unscripted media. While many major networks continue to lose viewers, BEK TV is thriving, proving that there is a strong appetite for content that is authentic, unfiltered, engaging, and relevant.

In an era where trust in media is increasingly questioned, BEK TV stands as a beacon of reliability, integrity, and excellence. Winning the Best of the Best award for the fourth year in a row is more than just a recognition; it’s a validation of the hard work and dedication that BEK TV and its team put in every day to bring the best possible content to their viewers.
