SCBA Archives – Historical material from South Carolina radio and television stations has been preserved in archives established by SCBA in 1976 at the McKissick Museum on the University of South Carolina Campus in Columbia. Students, professionals, researchers and members of the public can learn about the state’s history through film, records, audio and video tapes and the personal records of South Carolina’s veteran broadcasters. Origin of the SCBA Archives

Past Presidents – Like any professional organization, SCBA depends on volunteers to lead the Association and its many active committees.  Since our inception in 1948, SCBA has been fortunate to have had so many broadcast pioneers, legends and leaders at the helm of our ever-expanding association.
