The Miss America Pageant, dumped by ABC last year after suffering achy-breaky ratings, is high-tailing it over to cable's Country Music Television network, which is averaging about 300,000 viewers in prime time this year.
Yee haw!
The Miss America Organization and CMT yesterday slapped each other on the back and talked about their shared "core values" and their mutual admiration of the American "heartland."
"We needed to find a better partner, one that better understands our values," Miss America Organization CEO Art McMaster told The TV Column yesterday.
"CMT's audience is the heartland of America; that's the same type of loyal audience 'Miss America' has enjoyed; they respect the traditions and values of this organization.
"
will showcase our values and traditions: We are about talent, we are about eveningwear, we are about swimwear. It's about intelligence; it's a competition."
