Starting in 2006: MNF to ESPN; SNF on NBC

[SkapePhin]

According to WFAN.

SNF will be a flex schedule.

No way! Really? Wow! I thought in the end Disney would still pay to keep MNF on ABC and SNF on ESPN. This is shocking!

Still waiting on an article though.. But this is what was said on WFAN. I wonder if Al and Madden will go to ESPN?

Just to quickly clarify something. Did they say SNF to NBC or ABC?

SNF with a flex Schedule!...this is pretty big news... anymore info on this.

No! ABC should always have MNF... I think SNF should move to NBC because I for one hate ESPN they are lazy and take credit for info that came from other sources

 

[SkapePhin]

NBC.. ABC will be football-less.

The thing is, ABC and ESPN are basically sister stations.. They are both owned by Disney.

Doubt it. the NFL contract with FOX, CBS, and ABC (who owns ESPN for those living in denial) is a big money deal and these networks are not going to just let any part of the NFL leak away. even tho NBC is trying to get back in the market, it looks like they dont want to poney up NFL money so they get to host the ARENA league (which isnt a bad sub. to the NFL during the off season).

This was stated on WFAN as already a reality.. Not just speculation. This has apparently been worked out. So if they are correct, SNF will be on NBC, and MNF will be on ESPN.

MNF to ESPN is a go.
