The Miss USA  pageant scheduled to take place in Baton Rouge this July will no longer be televised by NBC, the station said in a news release. The Miss Universe  pageant will also not be televised by NBC. The pageants are “part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump,” according to the release.
“Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” the release said.
