Hello,
I am trying to reconstruct the history of Connecticut High School Bowl, which was produced and broadcast by WTNH Channel 8, in New Haven, CT, from 1980-1991. Kenn Venit, Action News anchor, was the host/moderator. As the name suggests, High School Bowl was a version of the famous G.E. College Bowl involving teams from Connecticut high schools.
I am still missing episode information – the names of the two high schools competing – for the dates/times listed below. (Some weeks' listings omit this info, most include it.)
If you could please check your collection of TV Guides – Western New England, Hartford-New Haven, or New York Metropolitan editions – and email me or post in this thread, I would be most grateful for even one data point.
Also, I would love to hear from anyone who played, coached, or worked on the show, or who has memories of watching it.
Thank you,
Peter T. Farkas
