What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the NBC television network, the Capital One College Bowl TV show is hosted by former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, with his brother Cooper Manning serving as a sidekick. The series challenges college students out of the classroom and puts their knowledge to the test as they compete for academic scholarships. In each episode, teams of three represent some of the nation’s top schools and battle it out in a bracketed tournament over four rounds. Teams must work together to answer questions on a wide variety of subjects. The top two schools advance to the final portion of the game where they compete head-to-head for the Capital One College Bowl trophy and a scholarship to put toward their education. Capital One will award $1 million in scholarships, providing all student competitors from the above institutions with tuition assistance for their participation.
 

Season Two Ratings

The second season of Capital One College Bowl averaged a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.69 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 42% in the demo and down by 31% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Capital One College Bowl stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will NBC cancel or renew Capital One College Bowl for season three? This show is relatively inexpensive to produce, and at least the prize money seems to be covered by sponsor Capital One. As long as the banking company wants to participate, I think College Bowl will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
