BEK - BEACON

BEK Honored in Valley City

Trusted by the Community, Recognized for Excellence

October 2025

While BEK TV celebrates its fifth consecutive win as ‘Best Local TV Station’ and a second ‘Best TV Personality’ award in the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, the cooperative also is proud to announce that it has once again been voted ‘Best Internet Service Provider’ and ‘Best Television Service Provider’ in the Valley City Times Record’s Best of the Best contest. This recognition belongs to all our members and customers who continue to place their trust in BEK.


For decades, BEK has made it our mission to provide advanced communications services to rural communities across North Dakota. What began as a rural telephone cooperative has grown into a leader in delivering the fastest, most reliable internet with BEK Fiber and a high-quality television experience through BEK TV, available anywhere in the state. Today, BEK connects thousands of homes, businesses, schools, and farms, giving them the tools to thrive in a digital world.


These awards serve as a reminder that BEK is not just another service provider. As a member-owned cooperative, our focus is always on strengthening the communities we serve, not on meeting the demands of outside shareholders. Every decision we make, from investing in the latest fiber technology to expanding service into new rural areas, is guided by our commitment to making valuable connections.


We thank you, our members, for your continued confidence and support. Your vote is more than recognition, it is encouragement to keep pushing forward, ensuring that BEK remains a trusted partner in your home, business, and community for years to come.
