This year's 2001 Miss Tennessee Pageant will air on local cable TV systems across the state on June 23rd thanks to a unique partnership between pageant organizers and cable operators affiliated with
the Tennessee Cable Telecommunications Association. This year's statewide broadcast follows last year's pilot effort to air the pageant on select cable TV systems. According to pageant president Jimmy
Exum, last year's cable TV broadcast was such a success that efforts were made to make the pageant available to an even wider audience across the state.
