GENEVA ? Swiss national television says it will stop showing the country's "Miss Switzerland" beauty pageant because viewership has decreased.
The long-running show is a fixture of Swiss popular culture and winners are guaranteed lucrative advertising deals and society engagements for a year.
Swiss television said Friday that its 25.7 percent audience share for the final was below what it would expect for a Saturday evening broadcast.
The network, which is funded through a compulsory household charge, axed broadcasts of the "Mister Switzerland" show in May citing similar reasons.
Spokeswoman Manuela Kaech said the format "does fit our entertainment profile anymore."
