WXXV host third annual Viewer’s Choice Awards

On Tuesday evening the Ground Zero Blues Club was transformed into the hosting grounds for the 2024 WXXV Viewer’s Choice Awards.

Hundreds packed in for a night dedicated to celebrating the coast’s best businesses and organizations, all voted by you, South Mississippi viewers. The event was hosted by WXXV’s own sports director, Jevan McCoskey and event coordinator, Lindsey Magee.

This year had over 187 categories, from best jewelry store to best po’ boy sandwich and everything in between. There was a staggering 164,000 votes from over 18,000 people. Spirits were high as attendees were treated to live music and a night of food and drinks.
