BEK TV Network and Hosts Nominated for Bismarck Tribune’s 'Best of the Best' Awards

Firstly, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the dynamic team behind "Ladies of Another View." Hosts April Lund, Heidi Ripplinger, Jan Wangler, and Mary Graner have each brought their unique perspectives and insightful discussions to the show, earning them a well-deserved spot among the nominees. Their commitment to addressing diverse topics with authenticity and depth has clearly resonated with our audience, making "Ladies of Another View" a beloved program.

In addition to the "Ladies of Another View" team, we are proud to celebrate the nomination of Gary Emineth, the charismatic host of "Open Range." Gary's ability to connect with viewers through his engaging storytelling and in-depth exploration of rural and political issues has made him a standout personality on BEK TV. His dedication to shedding light on important topics and connecting with the community has not gone unnoticed.

We also extend our congratulations to Lori Hinz, who has been recognized not only for her work on "Open Range" but also for her contributions to BEK TV Special Reports and "Made Local." Lori's versatility and talent as a host have earned her a special place in the hearts of our viewers. Her dedication to providing high-quality, locally-focused content has made a significant impact, and it is no surprise that she has advanced to the voting phase as one of the top five personalities with the most nominations in our market.

Out of the 15 personalities nominated in our market, Lori Hinz's achievement of making it to the voting phase is a remarkable accomplishment. This recognition highlights her exceptional skills as a host and the strong connection she has built with our audience. We encourage all our viewers to support Lori by casting their votes and helping her secure the title of Best TV Personality.

In addition to our hosts' individual nominations, we are excited to announce that BEK TV as a network has also been nominated for Best Local TV Station. This nomination reflects our commitment to delivering quality programming and serving our community with integrity and excellence.
