We’re about 1/3 of the way through recording the 42nd season (my 10th) of Tennessee Scholars’ Bowl. New shows begin airing Jan. 2026. Watch previous seasons on the PBS app. It also airs weekdays at 10:30a ET (9:30a CT) on 6 PBS stations statewide in the "Teaching Tennessee” block

Scholars Bowl Team A went and won against Sullivan East!!! Afterwards they went on to the next round and fell short to Maryville. We are so proud of these kids and for making it as far as they did!

I thought I had retired from Scholars Bowl, but for a day I'm back. Glad to see @FrankMurphyCom in action again.
