Remember Miss USA 2015 when after Donald Trump made remarks about Mexicans when he announced he was going to run for President and how it backfired when NBC dropped the pageant and they were scrambling for a broadcaster and it wasn't resolved until way after the pageant when Trump sold the MUO to IMG? Well, a similar thing is happening in Señorita Colombia.
Valeria Morales, who will be representing Colombia at the 2018 Miss Universe pageant on December 16th in Bangkok Thailand may be the last Señorita Colombia to ever grace the Miss Universe stage and now her only miss is to represent Colombia in Thailand in hope of our 3rd Miss Universe crown.
RCN, the broadcaster of Señorita Colombia who is the holder of the Miss Universe franchise here in Colombia (not CNB) has confirmed along with Raimundo Angulo president of CNB that RCN will not transmit the upcoming Señorita Colombia pageant on November 12th, sources say that RCN has not been pleased with Rai's actions such as disqualifying Camila Avella without very good reason.
They invested a lot into the first Señorita Colombia pageant this year which Valeria Morales won (Rumbo a Miss Universo) and either realized that it wasn't worth it or realized that they could produce a pageant and get ratings without CNB. Sources say RCN is allegedly planning on creating their own pageant where the winner will go to Miss Universe. If these rumors are true, then Señorita Colombia 2018-2019 will no longer be sent to Miss Universe 2019 and instead be sent to Miss International 2019 unless they come to terms.
The girls competing for Señorita Colombia arrive in Cartagena this saturday and the finale is in less than two weeks and Raimundo has promised that the event will be broadcasted on a different channel (http://www.eluniversal.com.co/farandula/raimundo-angulo-pizarro-cartagena-no-se-quedara-sin-television-para-el-cnb-290976)
