    Donald Trump’s Miss USA Pageant Finds New Home On Reelz

    Excerpt:

    Dumped by NBC and Univision over Donald Trump’s remarks about “rapists” immigrants, the Miss USA beauty pageant will still be televised out of Baton Rouge on July 12 after all thanks to some new friends in cable. In a deal with the Trump co-owned Miss Universe Organization, Reelz has picked up exclusive rights.

    “The decision on the part of Reelz to acquire the rights to the Miss USA Pageant was based on our belief that this special event, and the women who compete in it, are an integral part of American tradition,” said CEO Stan E. Hubbard today in a statement. “As one of only a few independent networks, we decided to exercise our own voice and committed ourselves to bringing this pageant to American viewers everywhere.”

    No details of the agreement to air the pageant were revealed other than an airdate — 8 PM on a summer Sunday — but with the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host’s former network partners jettisoning him, the sat/cabler likely purchased the show at a fire-sale price. “The Miss USA Pageant is a perfect fit on Reelz where movies, entertainment and celebrity come together every day of the year,” Hubbard said.
