Format

"Hometown High-Q" is based on the "It's Academic" format in which three teams of three field academically-based questions for points and advancement in a season-long tournament.

The winning team receives $11,000, second- and third-place finalists win $5,500, and non-winning semifinalists win $2,000. [cite web | url = http://kdka.com/highq/Hometown.High.Q.2.392105.html| title = Hometown High Q Game Show Participation Rules | accessdate = 2008-03-29] In earlier seasons, winning teams received points their schools could use toward the purchase of computers and equipment.

An alternate version of "Hometown High Q", which began in summer 2005 is the Steelers Trivia Challenge, a nighttime series hosted by KDKA sports anchor Bob Pompeani featuring adult contestants answering trivia related to the Steelers.

From 2003-2007, the show aired twice on Saturday: a new episode airs at 11:00 a.m. and the last week's episode reruns at 11:30 a.m.
