Jason Belk joined WMBF as Sports Director in January of 2011 from KPLC in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Jason is certainly no stranger to the Carolinas though, having grown up in Charlotte, North Carolina and spending many summers here in Myrtle Beach.
Jason graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of South Carolina, and always dreamed of making it back home for a chance to cover the sports teams he grew up following.
In his spare time Jason enjoys, you guessed it, watching and playing sports. A few of his favorites are golf, baseball and football. When not doing something involving athletics you will most likely catch Jason spending time with friends and family.
Jason is beyond excited to call Myrtle Beach his home and is looking forward to bringing the Grand Strand and Pee Dee their sports coverage.

Three things you can't live without: Mountain Dew, sports, friends/family
Favorite music: I literally listen to everything, from Kings of Leon, to Sugarland, to Lil Wayne…
Favorite books: I'm not much of a reader, but I did like The Blind Side
What would you do if you didn't work in news? If I didn't work in news, I'd still have to be involved in sports somehow. Possibly working in an athletic department at a college.
Favorite travel destination: Well I guess I can't list Myrtle Beach here, but San Juan, Puerto Rico is pretty awesome
3 things you'd take with you if abandoned on a deserted island: My iPod, some sunscreen (I get burnt a lot), and a fishing pole
Describe yourself in one word: "How would I describe myself? Three words: hard-working, alpha-male, jackhammer, merciless, insatiable." – One of my favorite quotes from The Office. I thought it fit as an answer.
