North Country’s WPBS to present Whiz Quiz for 38th year featuring St. Lawrence County high school students

Posted

WPBS-TV, Watertown’s Public Broadcasting, will present Whiz Quiz with Glenn Gough for the 2017 season. This year celebrates the 38th anniversary of Whiz Quiz, the longest running local academic quiz production in the North Country.

Whiz Quiz celebrates the academic excellence of high school students from both sides of the border. They show will host twenty-nine American high schools from St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis, Franklin, and Oswego counties and two Canadian high schools.

The competition is a single-elimination format, with members competing in televised matches.

The show will air Monday – Thursday at 7:30 p.m. beginning Oct. 16 and will continue through December with the championship matches. Each year the American and Canadian champions meet for the International Championship in an hour-long match that pushes the teams to compete one more time to see who will hold the title of Whiz Quiz International Champions.

All matches will be available for online viewing every Friday at watch.wpbstv.org. For more information about Whiz Quiz, visit wpbstv.org/whizquiz.
