Red Creek, Cayo District – August 21, 2025 – The National Channel (TNC10) has won its first Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) media award during the 36th Annual CBU Awards Ceremony. Held in Bridgetown, Barbados on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, TNC10 received top honours for Best Entertainment Program for the third season of its flagship culinary competition, Glazed Out. 

Speaking on the historic win for the company, CEO and the show’s executive producer, Adrian Lizarraga said, “This historic win is just one more signal that the steps and investments TNC is making to create quality Belizean entertainment is worth it.” He added, “As our company grows, we remain committed to providing platforms like Glazed Out to reflect bona fide Belizean talent.” 

The program’s director Brian Almendarez stated, “I’m truly grateful to see the hard work that my team and I have put in has received the recognition of such a prestigious organisation as the CBU.” He added, “My goal has always been to put Belize on the map, and to take Belizean food, people, culture, and productions to another level. I’m truly grateful to have been a part of this project and there’s much more to come from us.” 

Much of the show’s success for the past four seasons can be attributed to the close collaboration between the company’s marketing and production teams. It also comes with the support of many sponsors and partners over the past four seasons.  The show, which has been hosted by Chef Sean Kuylen since its inaugural season, will go into production for a fifth season by the summer of 2026, and Almendarez will return as director. The show’s first season winner was Chef Kelvin Harris while Chef Hilda Fajardo was the winner in season two. The winner for seasons three and four is Chef E. Anderson Morales. Season three judges included Chefs Claudia König, Wolfgang Brandl, and Edwin Alvarez.
