The Catholic game show “Wow:The CatholicTV Challenge” will be available as a free video-on-demand for Verizon FiOS customers starting the week of Tuesday, January 20th. CatholicTV is a nationally-broadcasted television station headquartered near Boston.
CatholicTV produces a children’s game show that teaches viewers about the Catholic faith. The show resembles the show Jeopardy!, yet has young contestants just like the show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” WOW:The CatholicTV Challenge is hosted by Father Robert Reed, a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston and the Director of CatholicTV. Now in it’s fourth season, WOW has a new set and format. Contestants are 3rd graders and are asked open-ended questions. Father Reed gives a brief explanation of the answers and occasional commentary. The show erupts with laughter and shouts of “Wow!” when contestants answer questions correctly. Each show has a theme, called a “WUDABOUT” such as “The Sacraments” or “The 10 Commandments”. The winner of each show receives a prize.
Verizon Fios customers simply need to use their remote controls to click on “menu” then “on demand”, and then browse “free” selections in order to view the show.
“Wow!-The CatholicTV Challenge” is viewable on CatholicTV where available each week at the following times (Eastern): 6:30 p.m. Mondays, 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesdays, 1 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Thursdays, 1 p.m. Fridays, 8 p.m. and midnight Saturdays, and 9 a.m. Sundays. The show is also streamed live (simultaneously) at www.CatholicTV.com. Archived episodes are also viewable at the website. Episodes can be seen full-screen and free of charge. CatholicTV is a non-profit corporation.
