Crowd Rules is an American competition/reality television series, created for and first telecast by the cable channel CNBC for its United States audience. On each episode, three small businesses appeal for the support of a studio audience "crowd" of 100. An audience vote at the end of each program determines which of the companies receives a $50,000 grant to support the growth of its business.[1]
The show was pulled from CNBC's schedule after two episodes were aired, with just 47,000 people watching the debut of the first episode and 42,000 watching the second episode.[2] The network said it has not cancelled the series, but has not yet announced a telecast date for the remaining 6 episodes.
