Independent cable channel Reelz has come to rescue the Miss USA 2015 pageant after NBC and Univision decided to drop the pageant after Donald Trump made several racists remarks during the launching of his presidential bid. Initially, the plan was livestream the pageant although efforts were made to find a suitable TV channel to air the pageant.
“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,” Reelz CEO Stand E. Hubbard said.
Reelz is estimated to reach 70 million viewers. No details on how the broadcasting rights was acquired and there was no mention of Donald Trump.
