Six Times and Counting You Nominated Us - Now Help Bring Us Home A 6th Time

For the sixth time, BEK TV has earned a spot in the voting round of the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, and it’s all thanks to you!

Your nominations put BEK TV back in contention for ‘Best Local TV Station’, and this year the excitement doesn’t stop there! Two BEK TV hosts have also been nominated for ‘Best TV Personality’: Lori Hinz and sports announcer Chris Brintle. On top of that, BEK TV earned a nomination for ‘Best Video Production Company’.

BEK TV has been named ‘Best Local TV Station’ five years in a row, and last year, Dawn Palumbo and Jonah Lantto were both nominated and named ‘Best TV Personalities’. These wins mean something beyond recognition itself. BEK TV is proud to be one of the only uncensored and unscripted networks left in the nation, producing more local sports, news, and opinion programming than any other network in the region.

The voting round runs July 22 through August 12, and voters can cast their votes twice each day during the voting phase. Voting details will be announced as soon as they are available. Stay tuned to BEK TV and BEK’s social media channels for updates.

Five years in a row is something to be proud of. Year six would be something to celebrate together. Your vote makes the difference.
