Hosted by Good Morning America’s Amy Robach, Countdown to Miss America will cover every aspect of this year’s competition, including the exciting & nail-biting preliminary competitions as well as all of the evening’s glitz, glam & ball gowns, as cameras go backstage where 53 young women will be preparing to represent their home states & territories, all hoping to bring home the crown. Countdown to Miss America will also take a historical look back at the Miss America Organization’s 9 decades of scholarships & service & introduce viewers to more than 30 former Miss Americas, including Lee Meriwether who was the first Miss America crowned on TV 60 years ago.
