Miss America gets around - the pageant, that is.
TLC, the network that has hit big with reality shows about tattoo artists, little people and home how-to, has become the latest home for the Miss America Pageant, a once-dominant event that has fallen on hard luck, TV-wise, in recent years.
TLC will air the "Miss America Pageant" on Jan. 26, and also will air a reality show to get viewers interested in the competitors.
"We're thrilled to partner with the Miss America Organization and to broadcast the next generation of the 'Miss America Pageant,'" Angela Shapiro-Mathes, president of TLC, said in a statement.
"This collaboration is a tremendous opportunity for us to present this scholarship pageant and great American tradition to our viewers with a contemporary production style unique to our channel."
