WBTW NEWS 13

For more than 60 years, WBTW has been a powerful television voice in Eastern South and North Carolina. It's not at all unusual to meet folks in their thirties and forties who will tell you with a big smile.. "Why I grew up with WBTW, it has always been part of my family." The management of WBTW knows of no finer testimonial nor a more meaningful obligation. Being part of the lives of Carolinians, North and South, is a constant goal. The 1992 and 1998 awards as Station of the Year by the South Carolina Broadcasters Association and our intra-company President's Award for Excellence are gratifying notes that we have not forgotten that goal.
