BEK TV is excited to announce its partnership with Below Zero Wrestling in bringing professional wrestling to television screens across North Dakota. The new collaboration kicks off on January 1, 2025, at 7:00 pm CT on BEK TV. New episodes will air every other Wednesday. Viewers can watch on BEK TV channels statewide or by streaming live and on demand through the BEK TV+ app, at no cost.

Below Zero Wrestling (BZW), co-owned by North Dakota native Nick Stokke and South Dakota’s Zach Werre, merges sport and entertainment into a thrilling experience that captivates audiences of all ages. Their journey began with a dream to create regional wrestling live events and became a reality with their first event in 2021. Since then, BZW has successfully organized more than 30 events, primarily in North Dakota, showcasing professional wrestlers from across the Upper Midwest and beyond.

“We’re excited to bring our unique brand of action to screens statewide, reaching new fans and giving our long-time followers more ways to experience us,” says Nick Stokke.

“We have so much in common with BEK TV,” says Zach Werre. “They are the premiere TV network in the state, and like them, our roots are also in North Dakota. BEK TV has proven through their sports and news productions that, like us, they work hard to provide local content that people want.”

Jordan Hassler, Chief Operating Officer of BEK TV, states, "Partnering with Zach and Nick just makes sense to us. Below Zero Wrestling aligns with what BEK TV is all about—innovative, local, and entertaining. We are committed to providing content that resonates with our viewers, and this partnership is a continuation of that commitment."

BZW has gained popularity for its family-friendly approach, making professional wrestling accessible to fans of all ages. “So many of our fans leave our events excited about wrestling, whether it’s their first encounter with the sport or a rediscovery of a long-lost passion.”

About BEK TV

BEK TV is one of the only locally-owned, non-corporate, television broadcasting networks remaining in the country and produces more local content than any other television station in the Midwest. It broadcasts in North Dakota on over-the-air television and across the world via streaming on BEK TV+.

The concept behind BEK TV’s programming is to provide a media service platform that is unscripted and uncensored. The majority of BEK TV hosts are untrained broadcasters who share their perspectives and views on topics and issues that people are talking about. The BEK network never controls the messaging.

BEK TV is the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 winner of the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, selected by the people for “Best Local TV Station”. BEK TV host Lori Hinz is the winner of the 2024 “Best TV Personality” award. Both were chosen by the people.
