The Miss America Organization is getting a new producer to assist in its overhaul of its flagship pageant — err, competition.
The organization announced Monday that Global Road Entertainment will join MAO and Tall Pony Productions, in producing the upcoming 2019 Miss America Competition set for September. The news comes on the heels of MAO eliminating the show’s swimsuit competition and declaring the annual event is no longer a pageant.
“It is such an honor to be part of the team launching Miss America 2.0 this September,” stated Phil Gurin, the company’s President of Unscripted & Alternative Television. “As we reimagine this storied franchise, it’s exciting to offer a new and empowering platform for these strong, female leaders to shine.”
