A crowning moment is a Miss-hap
From Associated Press
For once, it paid to be on tape delay.
Andrea Finch of Indio won the 46th America’s Junior Miss competition and a $50,000 scholarship, but many television viewers missed the crowning moment.
The program was broadcast live from Mobile, Ala., on Saturday night on PAX TV, but a thunderstorm at the cable channel’s West Palm Beach, Fla., master control disrupted the satellite feeds just before the second runner-up was announced, Junior Miss officials said.
People watching the show live in the Eastern and Central time zones missed the big announcements.
But PAX and Junior Miss officials were able to repackage the final segment in time for viewers in the Mountain and Pacific time zones watching on tape delay.
