New Delhi : India Today Television, one of India’s leading English news channels, today announced the launch of its News Quiz Show- NEWS WIZ. The show will be hosted by the eminent journalist, anchor and author – Rajdeep Sardesai and has been designed by the renowned Indian television producer-director Siddhartha Basu of Kaun Banega Crorepati and Dus ka Dum fame.

A one of its kind show, News Wiz will see participation from students across the country from classes IX till XII. From an extensive list of 1500, 60 schools were shortlisted through an online test. The list was further trimmed to 27 schools who will participate in the 13 episode series featuring 3 teams consisting of 2 participants in each episode.

 To make the format of the show more fascinating, the teams will be provided with a phone-in helpline where they can seek help on their answers from a journalist of the concerned field. The quiz show also has a Web Guide station where one team member can look up the answers and assist the other team member who will be attempting the question in an allotted time. Celebrities and News makers from all walks of life are also expected to be special guests during the shows.
