Think You're A Trivia Whiz? NBC's 'Win Win' Pays You To Play From Home
Game shows have remained incredibly popular with television viewers over the years and one of the reasons that new shows keep getting launched by media and streaming companies. For all the people who have played along to a trivia game like "Jeopardy!" at home and answered questions for $0, there's a new game show that could make it pay to watch along. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — What Happened: NBC, a unit of Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA), will soon air ' Win-Win," a new trivia game that could change game shows. The trivia show will see 40 people answer trivia questions "based on a unique nationwide survey." Viewers at home watching the show can play along through an app and win prizes alongside the players on screen. "Win Win" is based on a format from Hello Dolly, a production company, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A version of the show will debut on ITV in the United Kingdom. NBCUniversal has secured the licensing rights to the show internationally, with the NBC version likely up first. "Win Win is a fresh, high-stakes format that delivers on its name by giving viewers and contestants alike the chance to walk away winners," NBC executive VP unscripted programming Sharon Vuong It's Important: If people like watching game shows and people like winning money, the concept of "Win Win" would appear to be an early hit among viewers. "This is exactly the type of format that defines our ambitions as a studio," Universal Television Alternative Studio President Toby Gorman said. Gorman said the unique viewing experience could keep "audiences on the edge of their seat." For Comcast and Universal, this could drive higher live viewership, as audiences will need to tune in during the original broadcast to participate. The company may also benefit from increased app downloads, creating opportunities for cross-promotion and targeted advertising.

UW La Crosse helping students finish what they started with the Win-Win Program
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – College is difficult. Not only is rigorous academics and a step up in skills and approach, but you are also barely an adult when they tell you it's time to go do it. First time out of your parents' home, first time being 'self-sufficient', first time forced to be an adult. All of that pressure and all of the 'newness' make some students leave school. The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is hoping that it can help some of their own finish what they started. Over the past four years, UWL's Win-Win program has helped 126 former students turn unfinished college business into a proud accomplishment. The annual outreach initiative reconnects with students who were close to completing their degrees but left before finishing, giving them a clear, supported path to graduation. The results speak for themselves: Since 2020, 44 students have earned their bachelor's degree, while 82 have been awarded an Associate of Arts (AA) degree through the program. UWL Academic Advisor Mic Nauman says. 'The Win-Win program recognizes this and reminds them that earning a degree is still a possibility and we can work together to make that happen.' 'This is a great example of a multi-unit UWL collaborative project that has a potentially life-changing impact on individuals,' says Sandy Grunwald, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. 'It exemplifies what makes UWL so great, people working together to positively impact our students, former or current.' Most students contacted by the Win-Win program express excitement, relief, and hope for the future. The program shows that the university understands that life doesn't always follow a straight path, she adds. 'Students stop out for a variety of reasons,' Nauman says. 'The Win-Win program recognizes this and reminds them that earning a degree is still a possibility, and we can work together to make that happen.' About Win-Win The Win-Win program targets former UWL students who: Have not enrolled elsewhere in the past 2.5 years Meet certain academic criteria, such as having earned at least 50 credits Are close to completing an associate's or bachelor's degree Eligible students receive both email and mailed letters outlining next steps. Once they respond, advisors help chart a path to completion. When all requirements are met, the Records and Registration office awards the degree. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
