BEK Fiber: The Power Behind the Award-Winning BEK TV

October 2025

Once again, our members and viewers have spoken by voting BEK TV as ‘Best Local TV Station’. For the fifth year in a row, BEK TV has earned top honors in the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest. This year’s celebration is even bigger, as BEK TV’s own Dawn Palumbo and Jonah Lantto, hosts of Midwest Murder: True Crime Stories, were also named ‘Best TV Personalities’!


Behind every broadcast and every award-winning program is the technology that makes it possible: BEK Fiber.

Fiber at the Core

BEK may have begun as a rural telephone company, but it has grown into the region’s leading provider of state-of-the-art fiber internet. Unlike outdated networks such as 5G wireless or satellite, BEK Fiber delivers a dedicated line to every home and business we serve. That means lightning-fast speeds, unmatched reliability, and the security that today’s digital world demands.


This future-proof technology doesn’t just connect homes and businesses, it powers everything BEK does. The growth of BEK Fiber made it possible for BEK TV to expand its reach, producing hundreds of live events each year, from high school and collegiate sports to news, commentary, and original programming.

Local Voices, Global Reach

With BEK Fiber, what once could only be seen locally is now available anywhere in the world through the BEK TV+ app. Whether you’re in a Bismarck living room, a Fargo college dorm, or thousands of miles away, you can stay connected to the stories, sports, and conversations that matter most to you.

A Tradition of Trust

Winning Best of the Best five years in a row is more than recognition, it’s proof of the trust you place in us. Every award, every broadcast, and every connection begins with the powerful, secure, and reliable service of BEK Fiber.


From our cooperative roots to today’s role as the region’s fiber internet leader and premier source for local television, BEK is committed to building stronger communities and delivering the very best to our members.


Thank you for choosing BEK TV, for recognizing Dawn and Jonah, and for making BEK Fiber your trusted connection to the future.
