Sam Haskell stated, “We plan to proudly showcase the beauty of Atlantic City and Miss America together once again on ABC. The country embraced our return to our birthplace which was evident last September, with the best television ratings in over 9 years. Nearly 10 million viewers tuned in to see Nina Davuluri crowned as the first Miss America of Indian descent. We are excited as plans unfold for a new television event and we are so thrilled to build on the success of being home in Atlantic City!”

The Atlantic City Alliance President Liza Cartmell stated, “Not only was Miss America a huge ratings hit, it was driver of enormous positive publicity for Atlantic City. Much of the media who covered Miss America equated the competition’s return to Atlantic City as one symbol of the city’s great comeback.
