Low Rated Cable Channel Picks up Trump's Miss USA Pageant

Donald Trump's Miss USA Pageant has found a TV channel that will air the contest.

Both NBC and Univision backed out over Trump’s remarks about “rapists” immigrants.

So now cable channel Reelz (I haven't heard of it either) has stepped in and say they will air the pageant. 

“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.”

Last year, Miss USA pulled 5.5 million viewers on NBC.

It is likely it won't even see have that on Reelz.
