Kipers Hair Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I know MNF is moving to ESPN - but is there still Sunday night football being planned?
Kipers Hair Posted January 2, 2006 Author Posted January 2, 2006 Yeah. It will be on ABC. 547968[/snapback] Wow - they own the night with Desprate Housewives - I am surprised they would mess with the formula...
Arkady Renko Posted January 2, 2006 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.
Arkady Renko Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Yeah. It will be on ABC. 547968[/snapback] No, NBC has it. They will have Madden as well. See above.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 2, 2006 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
ATBNG Posted January 2, 2006 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.

Adam Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I know MNF is moving to ESPN - but is there still Sunday night football being planned? 547967[/snapback] Theisman and Michaels will be the ESPN crew......I'll be listening to old tapes of Van Miller and Rick Jeanerette if I can find them

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."
jayg Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 NFL Primetime is also gone off ESPN, and will move to NBC. 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.
