A LOOK AT THE 1990 MISS AMERICA PAGEANT

On September 16, 1989, ABC Broadcasted it's first Miss America Pageant on TV and on Radio (via the ABC-Watermark Radio Network) and is hosted by Gary Collins and Phyllis George and Kathie Lee Gifford with Commentary by Robb Weller (from the Home Show) and Musical Guest Clint Holmes (from the CBS Game Show Winfall)

However All 51 Woman sang a Remake of I Can Fly (that was sung by the Flight Crew of Encinal High School in 1985 and the Sound Sensations of John Burroughs High back in 1987 as the Choir Drill Song that made it to the East Coast of America as the Opening Number song of this years Miss America Pageant) back by Donald Pippin and the Miss America Orchestra with some assist the Scott Salmon Miss America Troupe which included one of those dancers who previously danced in the Miss USA Troupe (Tricia McFarlin who was on the First Miss USA Pageant being televised by FOX in 1987) and another who danced on FOX's Star Search hosted by John Schneider (Sharon Savoy and Arte Phillips)

However this year's Judging Panel who Selected this years Miss America which started on the First Preliminary Competition which took place on Wednesday consist of Debbie Allen (Choreographer and Actress), Jeff Brock (President of Brock Music, Veteran Judge in the State Level), Dr. Joyce Brothers (Psycholigist, Author, TV & Radio Personality), Claudia Cohen (Gossip Columnist and TV Reporter and Contributor for Live with Regis and Kathie Lee), Vernon Desear (Florida West Coast Symphony President), Bernard Dobroski (University of Oregon Musical Director who previously judged the 1986 Miss America Pageant), Merv Griffin (Who Created the Syndicated Game Show Jeopardy! and the new Daytime and Nighttime Wheel of Fortune which will be seen on ABC), Linda Haberman (Broadway Stage Choreographer and Dancer), Frances Hooks (NAACP Aide), Jake Jaeckel (Hall of Fame SS for the Philadelphia Phillies), Bronson Pinchot (Played Balki on Perfect Strangers), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Recently Starred in the 1988 Movie Twins), Donald Trump (Entrepreneur, Author and The Most Artistic Deal-Maker of All), Donna Axum Whitworth (Miss America 1964) and Bill Young (Interior Design Consultant who previously judged the 1988 Miss America Pageant) in which they greeted all 51 Contestants before they take their seats and then the 10 Semi-Finalists were announced

Then Clint Holmes performed Don't Blame It On The Girl to start the swimsuit competition but when the swimsuit competition had ended, The Former First Lady Betty Ford won the First Annual Miss America Woman's Acheivement Award.

Then Before the Talent Competition Gary Collins along with Clint Holmes, Phyllis George and Kathie Lee Gifford performed a Medley of the Big Hits of 1989 including "Lost In Your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson (performed by Phyllis George), "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" by Milli Vanilli (performed by Clint Holmes), "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles (performed by Kathie Lee Gifford), "I'll Be Loving You" by New Kids on the Block (performed by Clint Holmes), "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx (performed by Gary Collins) and ended with the "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler (performed by these said 4 and all of the Contestants and Troupe) then talent competition had started.

But When Talent Competition Ended and another Commercial Break came in the evening gown competition had started and preceded by All 51 Contestants walking in red evening gowns to this song by Chris Deburgh called "Lady In Red"

And Then The Finale Number took place Miss America 1989 Marlise Ricardos sang "One Moment In Time" which was a sung by Whitney Houston performed the 1990 Miss America Contestants and Troupe joined in and then Gary Collins sang this song before they finished it off with "I Can Fly"

BUT IN THE END WHO WON?

4th Runner-Up: Pennsylvania - Michelle Kline
3rd Runner-Up: Colorado - Debbie Riecks
2nd Runner-Up: Maryland - Virginia Cha

However The Top 2 had their Higher Scores and It went to Illinois' Jeri Lynn Zimmerman and Missouri's Debbye Turner however Jeri Lynn Zimmerman from Illinois is our 1st-Runner Up giving Missouri's Debbye Turner to be crowned Miss America 1990.

Miss Canada 1990: Broadcasted on FOX, CTV and Rhythm Radio on October 30, 1989 as all 46 Contestants along with The Troupe for The Pageant Alliance which included a 20-Year Old Girl named Kelli McCarty from Liberal, KS and Miss Colorado 1988 Maya Walker sang the Opening Number which is called Success (which was used as the Opening Number Song from the Miss America 1989 Pageant in which California's Marlise Ricardos won the crown)

During the Pageant a Musical Number that deals with Dancing Musicals called "That's Dancing" with Guest Performer David Malek (star of the Broadway Musical Les Miseralbes) and later on Jim Perry sang this to serenade the Final 4 (Caroline Melashenko from Saskatoon, SK, Robin Lee Ouzunoff from Niagara Region, ON, Tanya Herman from Red Deer, AB and Tina Lewis from Frederickton, NB) with "Believe In Yourself" which was from The Wiz.

But In The End, Who Won?

1st Runner-Up: Red Deer, AB - Tanya Herman
Miss Canada 1990: Niagara Region, ON - Robin Lee Ouzunoff

WHATEVER IS LEFT FOR 1989 AND THEN SOME FOR 1990 (PART 1)

On September 5, 1988 A New Game Show called Fun House hosted by JD Roth makes it debut the show is created by Bob Synes (who is also the executive producer) along with Scott A. Stone and is aired on TriNet
Other Notes About The Show
Announcer: John "Tiny" Hurley
Taping Facilities: Hollywood Center Studios (Hollywood, CA)
Production Company: Stone Television

However TriNet spun-off Fun House in September and aired College Mad House on Saturday Nights hosted by Greg Kinnear but lasted for one year.

On July 17, 1989: Two Game Shows that deals with Shopping first came to ABC, First it's New Episodes of Daytime Wheel of Fortune hosted by Pat Sajak with a New Season of Shopping and a New Re-Recording of Our Theme Song called Changing Keys
In Addition Production Facilities for Wheel of Fortune has been relocated from the NBC Studios in Burbank, CA to the ABC Television Center at Prospect Avenue in Hollywood, CA.

However Vanna White Remained as Co-Host and Charlie O'Donnell is the Announcer other personnel include when the Wheel moved to the Prospect Studio at ABC are...

Producer: Nancy Jones
Director: Dick Carson
Associate Producer: Wally Weltman
Art Director: Dick Stiles

But On September 4, 1989: ABC debuted a Nighttime Version of Wheel of Fortune at 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT giving the slot to battle with $ale of the Century on NBC Primetime as they kicked off a new season with Jim Perry and New Co-Host Annette Marroquin (after Summer Bartholomew left the show in the Summer to concentrate on running The Pageant Alliance.)

However With TriNet moving Hollywood Squares after a 3 Season Run on Syndication retaining John Davidson as host and Shadoe Stevens as announcer and panelist, FOX picked up on Jackpot from TriNet and moved production to the Glendale Studios in Glendale, CA which led to Geoff Edwards returning in as Host and John Harlan as the announcer as the Show Debuted on September 18, 1989.

UP NEXT: NASCAR will enter a New Decade to the 1990's as we take a look at who's who in the Comcast Grand National Series
THEN: We Continue with More Of Whatever is Left from 1989 to 1990.

We'll great! But in January 1990, Tournament Board (a revival of the mid-70s flop Winning Streak) is on FOX with Jimmy Cefalo as host, and Johnny Gilbert as announcer, being the timeslot competitor to Sale of the Century and Wheel of Fortune. But in September 1990, Tournament Board was cancelled and being replaced by Trump Card (a remake of the British show Bob's Full House) with Jimmy Cefalo continuing as host, and Chuck Reilly as announcer. In 1990, ATN is offering their timeslot competition with The Challengers, a remake of The Who, What or Where Game, with Dick Clark as host, to all stations and O&Os at 7:30pm, while TriNet gave away with Hold Everything!, a primetime quiz hosted by Pat Bullard to air at 7:30pm, and had a daytime offering, All About the Opposite Sex.

@Duc4AlternateHistory: Despite of Dick Clark hosting the 1990 Miss USA Pageant on FOX ITTL, I'll Force FOX to air The Challengers at 7:30 PM as a Lead-In to Primetime so TriNet could take Tournament Board until September and replace it with Trump Card hosted by Jimmy Cefalo in order to battle against FOX's Challengers with Dick Clark, NBC's $ale of the Century with Jim Perry, ABC's Wheel of Fortune with Pat Sajak and in the Fall CBS's Press Your Luck with Peter Tomarken as well as ATN's Hold Everything with Pat Bullard.

Speaking of TriNet on New Year's Eve 1989: The First Ever Princess Hosted Dancin' On Air New Years Special is Broadcasted Live from Philadelphia in which Princess herself (Heather Day) is joined by Cindy Stark, Tom McGuire and Bobby Catalano with The Jets performing as Musical Guests as they usher toRing in 1990.

Prior To This: From 1986 to 1988, TriNet aired Celebrate the New Year which is produced by WPIX in New York and is hosted by Pat Harper (from the TriNet Network News) in 1986 and later joined by Marvin Scott from 1987 to 1988, However the Broadcast Features coverage of the Ball Drop from Times Square in New York, NY as well as some other events taking place across the Eastern Time Zone.

More Stuff on What Happened from 1989-1990

On the Summer of 1989, Tempo continued to broadcast the Showstopper American Dance Championships in it's 3rd year but the Opening Number Theme Music added a remixed version of the 1988 Theme performed by Keeth Stewart and secured sponsorship from Capezio/Ballet Makers Inc. and Pageants and Talent Magazine
(OTL Note: The Broadcast for Showstopper American Dance Championships has been relocated from Tempo to Syndicated Special since 1989 and stayed here until 2005 or 2006 and is broadcast during the holliday season)

The National Football is League planning to Expand to 40 Teams for the 1993 NFL Season; In 1989, the prospective ownership group Touchdown Jacksonville! was organized. The group initially included future Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Jacksonville developer Tom Petway, and came to be led by shoe magnate Wayne Weaver, founder of Nine West as the City of Jacksonville may end up getting a NFL Team in the Fall.

However not only Jacksonville is going to get a team on Fall several other WFL Cities that are needed to get a NFL Team in 1993, Birmingham, AL, Honolulu, HI, Kansas City, MO, Memphis, TN, Orlando, FL, Raleigh, NC are trying to enter the league along with Anchorage, AK, Columbus, OH, Nashville, TN, San Antonio, TX and Tampa, FL

@stratonapba We'll as far as I'm concerned I'll going tp merge the Rapid City and Sioux Falls DMAs into a single one, and Fargo and Minot-Bismark-Dickinson into a single DMA, too into a singular one.

But ATN is offering What a Dummy! as a Saturday 7:30 pm show for the fall 1990 season, and TriNet is getting Dracula: The Series as a Saturday 7:30 pm show, too for the fall 1990 season, while for the winter of 1991, in order to challenge against ABC's Everybody's Equal, CBS is giving away a new version of The $64,000 Question, with Bob Eubanks as host, for the Saturday 7:30 pm slot, while FOX is going to have the sitcom Harry and the Hendersons for the Saturday 7:30 pm slot, and NBC is going up against the challenge with a new version of Twenty-One with Robb Weller as host for the Saturday 7:30 pm slot.
 

DucNguyen0131

Two of the UHF islands should be merged too. These were:
Peoria/Champaign/Springfield:
17-WAND (ABC)
19-WCIA (CBS)
20-WICS (NBC)
25-WEEK (ATN)
31-WMBD (TriNet)
43-WYZZ (FOX)
47-WTVP (PBS)

South Bend/Fort Wayne:
15-WANE (CBS)
16-WNDU (NBC)
21-WPTA (ABC)
22-WSBT (FOX)
28-WSJV (ATN)
33-WKJG (TriNet)
39-WFWA (PBS)

These UHFs are commonly found within the Midwest. I'll going to make American Samos, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (the 8 insular areas) and U.S. Virgin Islands statehood by 1990, in order to attract 56 states by today's generation, so the Nielsen allowed to create its own DMAs for the new states to fill the void vacant after merging its DMAs.

Pago Pago
2-KTFP (CBS)
4-KFPP (NBC)
5-KVZK (PBS)
7-KSVN (ABC)
9-KNIP (ATN)
11-KFXP (FOX)
13-KTHR (TriNet)

Guam
2-KTFG (TriNet)
3-KEQI (FOX)
5-KWAG (CBS)
7-KSVG (ATN)
8-KUAM (NBC)
12-KGTF (PBS)
14-KTGM (ABC)

Northern Mariana Islands
2-KNMI (CBS)
4-KRTA (NBC)
5-KPGI (FOX)
7-KZLB (ABC)
9-KFAR (ATN)
11-KMXI (TriNet)
13-KSRG (PBS)

Puerto Rico
2-WKAQ (NBC)
4-WAPA (ATN)
5-WRFB (ABC)
6-WIPR (PBS)
7-WSTE (FOX)
9-WSJN (TriNet)
12-WPRT (CBS)

U.S. Virgin Islands
8-WSVI (ABC)
10-WBNB (CBS)
12-WTJX (PBS)
17-WVXF (FOX)
19-WVGN (NBC)
23-WCVI (ATN)
27-WTFM (TriNet)

U.S. Minor Outlying Islands
3-KBIT (CBS)
4-KMWA (NBC)
7-KPLM (ABC)
8-KEGH (FOX)
10-KJRV (PBS)
11-KWXI (ATN)
12-KHWI (TriNet)
 

DucNguyen0131

So let's hope they would get a Philadelphia DMA much better:
3-KYW (NBC)
6-WPVI (ABC)
8-WTXF (FOX)
10-WCAU (CBS)
12-WHYY (PBS)
17-WPHL (TriNet)
29-WGBS (ATN)

And with Harrisburg becoming a UHF island, they need to merge with Wilkes Barre-Scranton to form a combined Scranton-Harrisburg DMA:
15-WLYH (CBS)
16-WNEP (ABC)
21-WHP (FOX)
22-WYOU (ATN)
27-WHTM (TriNet)
28-WBRE (NBC)
33-WITF (PBS)

And Eugene and Medford combined to form a single DMA.
5-KOBI (NBC)
7-KLSR (TriNet)
8-KSYS (PBS)
9-KEZI (ABC)
10-KTVL (CBS)
12-KDRV (FOX)
13-KVAL (ATN)

WJLA in Detroit-Toledo (channel 7, ABC affiliate) had just became the market leader.

So Vin Di Bona will have its first three shows on ABC with America's Funniest Home Videos, America's Funniest People and Big Break, this year, that Vin Di Bona and ABC teamed up again for a fourth one, Crazy Comparisons with Wink Martindale in 1991.
