SCBA

The SCBA strives to support local broadcasters' commitment to serve their communities. https://linktr.ee/scbroadcasters

In 2008, SCBA celebrated its 60th annivesary and in recognition of that milestone, the Association engaged in two very special projects. In 2006, the Association launched a special history project, and over two and a half years collected vintage audio and video material, station histories and interviews with dozens of broadcast pioneers. In 2008, SCBA looked to the future of the industry and pledg

ed support to the next great generation of broadcasters by dedicating a campaign to fully fund the Educational Foundation endowment at the million-dollar mark. The Association made a contribution of $120,000 to the endowment at the end of 2008 to reach that goal. The SCBA Educational Foundation funds $35,000 annually in scholarships for broadcast students at colleges, technical schools and universities in South Carolina. The scholarship program will be now be able to continue in perpetuity. Below is the in-depth article that Professor Haney Howell of Winthrop University wrote for the 60th anniversary. Howell managed the history portion of the anniversary project for SCBA.
