BEK TV Aims for 5 Years on Top

June 2025

BEK TV is going for gold for a FIFTH year in a row, and we can’t do it without you!


Beginning June 4 through June 25, head over to the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best ballot and nominate BEK TV for "Best Local TV Station" under the Sports & Entertainment category.


And while you’re there, check out the "Best TV Personality" category and nominate your favorite BEK TV personality.


The top five nominees in each category will move on to the final voting round beginning July 23, and winners in each category will be revealed in the Tribune’s Best of the Best special issue on September 20.


Thanks to you and all of our supporters, BEK TV has earned the title of "Best Local TV Station" four consecutive years in a row. And just last year, BEK TV’s own Lori Hinz was named "Best TV Personality" for the first time.


From wall-to-wall live sports coverage and original shows, to uncensored news and real opinions, BEK TV is proud to be the region’s largest producer of local sports, news, and entertainment. We stay true to our roots: local stories, real voices, no corporate script.


If you value bold, independent programming and hometown coverage you can trust, show your support and nominate BEK TV today!
