Cheers to 16 Years! 

Get ready to celebrate! Open Your Eyes is turning 16 on November 17, and we’ve got something extra special lined up for our incredible viewers. This Friday, November 15, we’re going all out with a morning show like never before—packed with laughs, behind-the-scenes moments, and some surprise appearances that are sure to bring a smile.

“It’s a milestone for us,” says producer Viannie Reyes. “Over the years, we’ve shared so many laughs, heartfelt moments, and meaningful conversations with our audience. And this anniversary show will be all about celebrating with those who’ve been with us every step of the way.”

The show will host a special anniversary episode filled with entertainment, a nostalgic look back at memorable moments, and insights from loyal viewers.

Reyes said, “It’s been a milestone, filled with laughter, tough moments, and serious discussions. On our anniversary day, we’re looking forward to a fun-filled morning featuring behind-the-scenes content, fan engagement, and some of our top supporters joining us in the studio.” She said that one of the most impactful segments over the years has been their mental health roundtable discussions, which resonated deeply with both the team and audience.

The celebration will bring laughter with appearances from well-known Belizean personalities, along with a performance by Bussa B band and singer Yannie, who recently returned to Belize and was thrilled to join the anniversary show. Reyes added, “This year, we made it a point to acknowledge our top fans, and we’re excited to have them as part of our 16th anniversary celebration.”

Reyes also reflected on the show’s progress, from developing creative educational segments to spotlighting small businesses and travelling across Belize to offer marketing opportunities. “It’s been a journey of growth and commitment to keeping our viewers informed and entertained,” she said. However, she acknowledged challenges along the way, including unexpected cancellations and the logistics of filming on location, yet praised the team’s resilience in making it all possible.

Looking ahead, Reyes hinted at exciting plans for the future, though keeping details under wraps. “We encourage everyone to tune in this year because next year’s show will be very different,” she teased. “Join us for laughter, fun, champagne popping, and cake cutting as we celebrate this special milestone.”
