October 2025
BEK TV, the station known for producing more local content than any other broadcaster in the Midwest, is once again expanding its powerhouse lineup with a program that viewers are sure to love. My Town is a groundbreaking documentary series written and directed by 3-time Emmy Award-Winning Documentarian and TV Anchor Cory Hepola, of Minnesota. With a mission to break down the popular misconceptions of the rural lifestyle, Hepola takes viewers on a journey through 15 small towns across six states, showing why talented people continue to choose rural America as home.
Beginning Sunday, October 5, 2025, My Town will air on BEK TV every Sunday at 6:30 p.m. CT. New episodes will premiere every other Sunday, followed by a rerun of the episode the next Sunday. Watch on your local BEK TV channel or stream each episode on the My Town Series YouTube Channel.
“Small towns have what everyone is searching for,” says Cory Hepola, Director and Host of My Town. “Younger generations are prioritizing quality of life, and you can’t find it any better than in rural America. My Town shows why talented people are choosing to call these special places home.”
Since premiering online just 10 months ago, My Town has already reached more than 2.1 million views in 44 states and 40 countries. “For years, BEK TV has focused on sharing authentic stories from rural towns, so we’re thrilled with their enthusiasm to showcase our My Town communities to their audience,” says Hepola.
