For this OPEN 20th Anniversary Special, hosts Doctor Bob Lee, Daren Jaime, and The Cafe Con Leche In The Morning's Rhina Valentin are joined by Executive Director Michael Max Knobbe, who shares a special message marking 20 years of OPEN and what this milestone means for the people of the Bronx and BronxNet TV. Then, Dr. Bob Lee, Daren Jaime, and Rhina Valentin, reflect on their most memorable moments and what OPEN has meant to them over the years. After that, our hosts go behind the scenes to hear from Director Of Community Affairs, Audrey Duncan, and Programming Coordinator, Paola Torres-Rivas who have helped shape OPEN throughout 20 years of broadcasting. Then they take a moment to honor all the talented and dedicated individuals that have been part of the OPEN family, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Finally, Dr. Bob Lee, Daren Jaime, and Rhina Valentin take a moment to remember friend, colleague and former OPEN producer Marisa White, whose contributions, kindness, and commitment left a lasting impact on this program and on everyone who had the privilege of working with her.
