# Was it
College Bowl?

# nope,
"Capital Blue Cross BRAINBUSTERS!"
it was only on the local NBC station, so you're not likely to have seen it unless you're from central PA. Even Philly doesn't get that station.

# I see all


"the prize that sent the provocative message to our communities - and one that will really motivated the entire student body to rally behind their Brainbusters team - is Capital Blue Cross's commitment to finance a free day at Hersheypark for the entire winning high school."

I used to Watch College Bowl very early on Saturday mornings. My mom would have it on. The video used a split screen to show both panels at once, but I thought they were on this very clever multi-level set like Hollywood Squares.
