STAR Awards
A Sincere Thank You from the SCBA!
What an incredible night celebrating the outstanding work of South Carolina’s radio and television broadcasters at the STAR Awards! We hope you felt truly honored, because tonight was all about you.
We want to express our most sincere thanks to our dedicated volunteers: Kristin, Laura, Mike, Michaela, Stan, and Debbie. Their tireless efforts truly brought this event to life.
We were so fortunate to have Ava Braatz and Tony Jamison as our emcees. Ava, our SCBA 2024 Television Personality of the Year STAR Award Recipient and Reporter for Access Carolina, WHNS TV, represented television with grace. Tony, our 2024 Honorary Lifetime Membership Award of Distinction winner and Network Operations Director for Glory Communications, expertly represented radio. They both did an outstanding job guiding us through the evening.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A massive thank you to:
