At Eye Opener, high quality production elements are a top priority. Our two-hour morning show is shot and broadcast in full HD live every weekday from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. CST.

While our staff produces a show that includes news, entertainment, comedy and variety, your local market can be a part of our team as well. Our format allows a time slot for you to contribute local programming approximately every 15 minutes. You can offer your viewers local weather, traffic, and news headlines, or anything you feel your viewers care about. Click here to download our full format breakdown.
