<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''I.Q.''' was a CBC radio high school quiz show that ran from 1961 to 1964.<br />
<br />
==Personnel==<br />
<br />
Jed Adams was the quizmaster. Frank Stalley introduced the show and provided score updates.<br />
<br />
==Format==<br />
<br />
Each week, the defending champion of the previous week met a challenger with runs of four weeks at a time. Undefeated teams met in the spring for playoffs. School teams of 4 came from across Canada and parts of New York.<br />
<br />
The format was quite similar to the [[Tossup/Bonus Format|tossup/bonus format]]. "Solo questions" were open to both teams with no conferring. Correct answers were worth 10 points; interrupts were -10. "Team questions" specific to one team were awarded after solos. They involved one or more questions worth a total of 20 points.<br />
<br />
Questions topics covered "fine art, music, history, literature, and current and international events, with the odd brain-twister thrown in to add to the fun". Current events were a major focus: the half-time break consisted of a panel discussion of a news topic, such as nuclear disarmament or the separation of Quebec.<br />

==Later CBC shows==<br />
<br />
CBC televised [[Reach for the Top]] nationally in 1965, but it does not appear to be a successor of I.Q. (Reach was based on the UK program "Top of the Form"). CBC returned to high school radio quiz shows with [[SmartAsk!]] in 2001.<br />
