Arkady Renko Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 NBC and it will have the premier games that MNF currently has. Additionally, the schedule will be somewhat flexible for them towards the end of the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Really? Does ABC still do football? 547978[/snapback] ABC is out of the NFL business, unless they get to be part of the Super Bowl rotation (Fox/CBS/NBC) PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATBNG Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 ABC is out of the NFL business, unless they get to be part of the Super Bowl rotation (Fox/CBS/NBC) PTR 547981[/snapback] ESPN and ABC are the same company. Michaels and Theismann will be doing the Monday night games on ESPN next year. Madden and some unnamed PBP guy (Costas, Albert, Hammond, Collinsworth) will be doing Sunday night football on NBC. NFL Primetime is also gone off ESPN, and will move to NBC. Costas and Collinsworth slated to host for now, although there is lots of talk one of them will end up with Madden and there will be a replacement on NBC Primetime.

I expect the other networks to have specific limits on the replays it can show...I'm a little wary about this development. It has a different name - I think "NFL Gamenight."

Costas and Collinsworth slated to host for now, 547998[/snapback] That will be a yawnfest. I've always enjoyed Tom and Chris. Times change but, to me, this is definately a step down. Oh well, who cares as long as we have a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
