Is it true that Cox is not televising the MISS USA Pageant?

I heard that Cox is not televising the MISS USA Pageant. Is that true? I hope that is not true. I have been considering changing to AT&T U-verse, and this could be the deciding factor for me.

Hi Cajungirl47,

NBC dropped the Donald Trump-owned Miss USA Pageant following Trump’s derogatory remarks about Mexican immigrants. Reelz TV picked up the event and will air the pageant on July 12th.

At this time, Cox does not have a broadcast agreement with Reelz to carry the Reelz channel in our lineup. As a result, we will be unable to air the Miss USA Pageant. I'm sorry!

"Reelz" is carrying Miss USA. "Reelz" is available on Uverse's two highest price packages.

Becky,

I like my support forum mods to stay focused and leave the social commentary for somewhere else.

Not everybody thinks Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants were derogatory.

NBC labeled them "derogatory" and severed itself from anything Trump related. Don't shoot the messenger.
