BEK TV Partners with Newsmax to Expand Breaking News Coverage in North Dakota

BEK TV has announced a strategic partnership with Newsmax Media that significantly expands its news coverage capabilities for viewers in North Dakota and surrounding regions. The collaboration introduces Newsmax2 on Channel 27.5, offering continuous national news programming featuring live breaking news, in-depth analysis, and discussions on politics, finance, and health.

The partnership brings several key programming additions, including the National Desk, which broadcasts from Washington, D.C. studios and provides comprehensive news coverage weekdays from 1 PM to 3 PM Central Time. Additionally, the Leventhal Report, hosted by veteran journalist Rick Leventhal, will air weekdays from 11 PM to 12 AM Central Time, offering deep insights into major national and global stories.

Jordan Hassler, BEK TV's Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating that viewers can now access rolling coverage of breaking news as events unfold. This expansion ensures that North Dakota residents receive real-time, continuous information about critical developments.

The collaboration leverages Newsmax's reputation as a rapidly growing news channel, recently recognized by the Reuters Institute as one of the top 12 U.S. news brands. By integrating Newsmax2, BEK TV broadens its programming to include respected hosts like Bianca de la Garza, Ed Henry, David Harris Jr., and Rick Leventhal.

Available on cable, satellite providers, and the BEK TV+ app, this partnership represents a significant enhancement in local news access, providing viewers with unfiltered, timely news coverage and comprehensive analysis of current events.
