- It's_Academic abstract "It's Academic is the name for a number of televised academic quiz competition for high school students. It's Academic programs have notably aired on NBC-owned WRC-TV in Washington, DC, NBC affiliate WVIR in Charlottesville, Virginia (occasionally), and CBS-owned WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland. The Washington DC version of the show has been on the air since October 7, 1961, making it the longest continuously-running television quiz show in history. The program was created for WRC by Sophie Altman, who continued as executive producer until her death on May 24, 2008. Mac McGarry hosted the Washington shows from the beginning until June 25, 2011. Hillary Howard, a news anchor for Washington radio station WTOP-FM, took over as host subsequent to McGarry's official retirement in November 2011. The Baltimore show is hosted by David Zahren. The show features three local high school teams of three players each. Over the years, chief sponsor Giant Food has given more than $2,000,000 in scholarship funds to participating schools.The single-elimination tournament features 81 schools in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region, 81 schools in the Baltimore metropolitan region (including Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore), and 9 schools in the Central Virginia region. The winners in each region go on to battle each other in the Super Bowl. The record-high score of 935 is held by Centennial High School in Ellicott City, Maryland, achieved in 2000.Under the name Academic Challenge, the quiz has also been produced on WEWS in Cleveland since the 1960s. Pittsburgh-area schools compete on KDKA-TV, where the series is called Hometown High-Q. KDKA morning anchor Rick Dayton became host in 2011, succeeding original host Ken Rice.It's Academic is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest-running quiz program in TV history. This title was first entered in the 50th anniversary edition of the Guinness Book.".
