Donald Trump's troubled Miss USA pageant has found a new TV home on cable network Reelz.
Reelz, which is available in 70 million homes, is picking up the July 12 event after NBC and Univision dropped it in response to Trump's inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants. Trump made the remarks during his June 16 announcement of his run for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Reelz, a low-profile outlet that usually airs theatrical movies and such reality shows as "The Hollywood Hillbillies," is owned by the St. Paul, Minn.-based Hubbard Broadcasting.
"As one of a few independent networks, we decided to exercise our own voice and committed ourselves to bringing this pageant to American viewers," the company's chief executive, Stanley Hubbard, said Thursday in a statement.
