NBC EXTENDS ITS AGREEMENT WITH DONALD J. TRUMP AND THE MISS UNIVERSE ORGANIZATION TO BROADCAST
MISS UNIVERSEŽ AND MISS USAŽ PAGEANTS FOR THREE ADDITIONAL YEARS
New York, NY and Burbank, CA – March 28, 2007 - NBC has renewed its exclusive agreement with Donald J.
Trump and the Miss Universe Organization to broadcast the Miss UniverseŽ and Miss USAŽ competitions on the network for three
additional years effective in 2008. Telemundo will also continue to broadcast the Miss Universe pageant as well as produce
a Spanish language simulcast and pre-pageant program.
The announcement was made today by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment and Donald J. Trump.
"Under the auspices of Donald Trump, NBC and the Miss Universe Organization, there has been renewed interest
in these series of beauty pageants, especially among a new generation of younger viewers," said Reilly. "NBC is proud to maintain
this unique American cultural tradition as a viable series of competitive programming specials that continue to be a popular
source of family entertainment."
"Beauty pageants have been redefined by the Miss Universe Organization," said Donald J. Trump. "With each passing
year our ratings continue to get better because of the beautiful and intelligent women who participate in our competitions."
"NBC has been a wonderful broadcast partner for the past five years," said Paula M. Shugart, President, Miss
Universe Organization. "I look forward to another three years of expert cross promotion such as those we have done in the
past with 'Fear Factor', 'Deal or No Deal' and 'Identity'."
The March 23 telecast of "Miss USA 2007" (2.2/7 in adults 18-49, 7.4 million viewers overall) was the time period's
top-rated alternative to the NCAA Basketball Tournament in 18-49 and total viewers. "Miss USA" was also the night's #1 telecast
among women 18-34. The July 23, 2006 telecast of "Miss Universe 2006" was number #1 for the night (3.2 rating, 9 share in
adults 18-49, 9.6 million viewers overall) was the #3 primetime program of its week in total viewers and #5 in adults 18-49.
"Miss Universe" also ranked #5 for its week among women 18-49 and women 18-34.
The Miss Universe Organization, producers of the MISS UNIVERSEŽ, MISS USAŽ and MISS TEEN USAŽ competitions,
is a Donald J. Trump and NBC partnership. Utilizing its global grass roots infrastructure, the Miss Universe Organization
is committed to increasing HIV/AIDS awareness and increasing awareness of breast and ovarian cancers. By forging relationships
with organizations committed to research and education such as the Latino Commission on AIDS, Global Health Council, Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Gilda's Club, the women who champion these causes during their reign are armed to impact
women today. The titleholders of the Miss Universe Organization personify the combination of beauty and intelligence that
defines the 21st Century.

There is a great article on Miss Universe 1980 Shawn Weatherly in the May 14 Orange County register...apparently
she is doing real estate with her in-laws now.
With Ms. Weatherly's successor as Miss USA 1980, Runner-up Jineane Ford of Arizona.
As the legend goes, when Miss America 1951, Yolande Betbeze refused to model swimsuits for pageant sponsor,
Catalina, Miss America 1949, Jaque Mercer suggested that the swimsuit manufacturer start their own pageant... And MISS
UNIVERSE was born!
The first pageant was held in 1952, and Armi Kuusela representing Finland won the title, currently
held by Riyo Mori of Japan.
Earlier that week, New York's Jackie Loughery had been crowned the first MISS
USA,a title now held by Texas' Chystle Stewart.
Now separate events, both competitions had their start in Long Beach,
California, USA.
In 1983, the MISS TEEN USA pageant was created, with yet another New Yorker, Ruth Zakarian (stage
name: Devon Pierce) emerging victorious in Lakeland, Florida and begining a great tradition continued today by Colorado's
Hilary Carol Cruz.
The Miss Universe Organization, producers of the MISS UNIVERSE(R),
MISS USA(R) and MISS TEEN USA(R) competitions, is a Donald J. Trump and NBC partnership. Utilizing its global grass roots
infrastructure, the Miss Universe Organization is committed to increasing HIV/AIDS Awareness by focusing on women's health
and reproductive issues. By forging relationships with organizations committed to research and education, such as the Global
Health Council, Gods Love We Deliver and the United Nations Population Fund's Face-to-Face Campaign, Miss Universe is armed
to impact women today. ***********
