Arkansas Broadcast Excellence Awards
The ABA extends its congratulations to all the winners of the 2026 Arkansas Broadcast Excellence Awards. We had over 70 entries in the inaugural year of this competition.
All materials had to be broadcast between November 1, 2025 and February 28, 2026. Next year’s contest period will start September 1, 2026 and run through February 28, 2027.
Awards were based on market size. For Television, the market sizes were Major Market (Little Rock) and all other markets (Jonesboro, Fayetteville and Ft. Smith).
For Radio, there were three market divisions: Major was Little Rock, Medium was Jonesboro, Fayetteville, and Ft. Smith. Small were all other stations. While there were entries in all categories, there were not entries in every market size of the various categories. Winners were selected by broadcast members of another state association.
