I'm pretty sure I remember learning that College Bowl had origins in a radio program for U.S. troops during World War II. Does anyone have details on that? Jonah (talk) 22:22, 22 November 2017 (CST)

Yeah so something like that existed and it also seemed to include British troops as well from the few references that I could find. I believe that led to Transatlantic Quiz, a radio show between the US and Britain after the war that started in 1946, but it doesn't seem to have been the direct origin of College Bowl. -CC
