CHS Broadcast Network Earns Top Honors for Second Straight Year
The CHS Broadcast Network (CHSBN), also known as the Bearcat News Network (BNN), was recently named an Elite School Broadcast Program. Elite programs not only have excellent broadcasting skills, but also excel in promoting their events and generating funds for their schools. Elite Schools distinguished themselves as leaders among the 1,700+ schools involved in the School Broadcast Program.
CHSBN was the only broadcast network in the state of Alabama to receive this award. This is a repeat championship year for them. They were named the only Elite Broadcast Program in Alabama last year, as well.
Congratulations to these students and their sponsor, Mr. John Drake. Go Bearcats!
