Currently, ABC simulcasts select Monday Night Football game games, two Sat NFL games during Week 18, 1 Wild Card game, and the Pro Bowl with ESPN. Beginning with the 2022 flavour, ABC will begin exclusively airing some MNF games. In 2027 and 2031, ABC volition air the Super Bowl.^[1]

Betwixt 1970 and 2005, Monday Night Football aired exclusively on ABC. Nonetheless, kickoff with the 2006 season, ESPN took over as the sectional rights holder to Monday Night Football. ABC would render to Mon Night Football fifteen years later in 2020, when they aired three games as simulcasts from ESPN. From 2006 to 2015, ABC did not broadcast any game from the NFL, whether exclusive or a simulcast from ESPN, until they simulcasted an NFL wild card playoff game in 2016.

History [edit]

Prior to Monday Night Football [edit]

ABC began television professional person football in 1948, where the network used a "game of the week" format to broadcast the NFL. After that year, the network circulate the NFL Championship Game between the Chicago Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles with Harry Wismer^{[two] [3] [4]} providing commentary. The 1949 NFL Championship Game between the Eagles and Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles was only made available to viewers on the West Coast considering at the time, there was no way to send live TV programs from the West Coast to the East Declension and vice versa. ABC the following year, would broadcast the playoff game between the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns. For the 1950 NFL Title Game betwixt the Browns and Rams, the game was non televised to Chicago, just it was so in Los Angeles.

Beginning in 1951, the DuMont network for all intents and purposes, replaced ABC as the NFL'southward prime network telecaster. However, come 1953,^[5] ABC was able to sign contracts with the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cardinals. They would shortly add together the Washington Redskins beginning in 1954, and come up 1955, the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. Carmine Grange^[6] and Beak Fay typically called abode games for the Bears and Cardinals in Chicago. For Washington Redskins games, ABC usually used the broadcast crew of Bob Wolff^[vii] and Dutch Bergman. In 1955, the Redskins left ABC in favor of syndicated regional coverage that was sponsored and produced by Amoco Gasoline.

As previously mentioned, too in 1955, ABC picked up games featuring the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers and broadcast them specifically to their affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone. These games were usually either called by the squad of Bob Fouts^[8] and Frankie Albert or past Bob Kelley and Bill Brundige.^[9] ABC also circulate that year'southward Thanksgiving Day game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions with Harry Wismer and Budd Lynch on the call.

Monday Night Football (1970-2005) [edit]

During negotiations on a new television contract that would brainstorm in 1970, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle contacted ABC almost signing a weekly Mon dark deal. Despite reluctance, ABC would sign a contract for the scheduled games. The kickoff Monday Night Football game game on ABC aired on September 21, 1970, between the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns with Howard Cosell, Keith Jackson and Don Meredith in the broadcast booth. Withal Frank Gifford would supersede Jackson in 1971.^[10]

In an era with only three tv set circulate networks, the series became the longest-running prime-time sports program in television history, and developed into ane of television'southward most valuable franchises.^{[xi] [12]} The Cosell-Meredith-Gifford dynamic helped make Monday Night Football a success; it frequently was the number 1 rated program in the Nielsen ratings. The inimitable style of the group (more often than not with Cosell, both loved and hated past the public) distinguished Monday Dark Football as a distinct spectacle, and ushered in an era of more colorful broadcasters and 24/7 TV sports coverage.^[xiii]

Meredith left for three seasons (1974–1976) to piece of work with Curt Gowdy at NFL on NBC, then returned to MNF partners Gifford and Cosell. In 1974, Fred Williamson was selected by the ABC every bit a commentator on Mon Nighttime Football game to replace Don Meredith. He was relieved of his duties at the beginning of the regular flavor, becoming the first MNF personality not to endure for an entire season. He was replaced by the boyfriend former histrion (and fellow Gary, Indiana, native) Alex Karras. Karras served three years in that part until leaving after the 1976 flavour, with his about memorable annotate coming in his first game, when he joked that baldheaded Oakland Raiders' lineman Otis Sistrunk, who never attended college, was from "the University of Mars", after seeing steam coming off his head.^[14]

Prior to 1978, Monday night games were not scheduled in the final week (Week 14) of the regular season. From 1974 to 1977, a Sat nighttime game was scheduled for Week 14, and televised live by ABC, in lieu of a game on Monday night.

During a game between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots on December 8, 1980, Cosell broke the news that former Beatle John Lennon had been shot and killed, news that stunned a nationwide audience.^[fifteen]

1982–1989 [edit]

Every bit part of the renewal of the NFL'south television contract in 1982, ABC was put in the Super Bowl rotation for the first time, giving information technology the broadcast rights to Super Bowl 19 in 1985. A second renewal of the tv set contract gave them the rights to Super Bowl XXII in 1988.^[xvi] Don Meredith retired from sportscasting later on the 1984 season, a year later on Howard Cosell's retirement. His final broadcast was Super Bowl XIX with Frank Gifford and Joe Theismann.

From 1983 to 1986, ABC as well aired a Friday night game in the final week (Calendar week 16) of the regular season, in addition to the normal Monday night game.^[ten]

During the first half of the September five, 1983 Mon Night Football game game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, Cosell's commentary on wide receiver Alvin Garrett included "That little monkey gets loose doesn't he?" Cosell's references to Garrett as a "little monkey," ignited a racial controversy that laid the groundwork for Cosell'southward departure from MNF at the end of the 1983 flavor. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, then-president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, denounced Cosell's annotate equally racist and demanded a public apology. Despite supportive statements by Jesse Jackson, Muhammad Ali, and Alvin Garrett himself, the fallout contributed to Cosell's decision to leave Monday Night Football game following the 1983 season.

"I liked Howard Cosell," Garrett said. "I didn't feel that information technology was a demeaning statement."^[17] Cosell explained that Garrett's pocket-size stature, and not his race, was the ground for his comment, citing the fact that he had used the term to describe his own grandchildren. Amongst other evidence to support Cosell'due south claim is video footage of a 1972 preseason game between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs that features Cosell referring to athlete Mike Adamle, a 5-foot, 8-inch, 195-pound Caucasian, equally a "little monkey."

On November eighteen, 1985, Joe Theismann suffered a comminuted compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in his right leg during a sack by linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson during a Monday Night Football game game between the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants. The Mon Nighttime Football game announcer team of Frank Gifford, O. J. Simpson and Joe Namath had correctly inferred from the get-go that Taylor was calling for help.^[18] While initially only the players on the field could see the extent of the damage to Theismann's leg, the reverse-angle instant replay provided a clearer view of what had really happened: Theismann'southward lower leg basic were broken midway betwixt his genu and his talocrural joint, such that his leg from his foot to his mid-shin was lying flat against the ground while the upper function of his shin up to his knee was at a 45-degree angle to the lower part of his leg. ABC's conclusion to screen the reverse-bending instant replay several times despite its palpably graphic content shocked millions of viewers, although as the replays were shown, Gifford repeatedly urged viewers at home to exercise discretion. The repeated screening of this replay remains to this day one of the most controversial in-game television production decisions in NFL history.

In 1986, Al Michaels took over play-by-play duties, and Gifford switched to a colour commentator role.^[19] However, Gifford did play-by-play for the next several years (Gifford was joined by Lynn Swann and O. J. Simpson on color commentary in 1986 and by Dan Dierdorf for the rest of his run on Monday Dark Football) whenever Michaels was covering post-season baseball games for the network.^[twenty]

Every bit previously mentioned, in April 1987, Dan Dierdorf was hired by ABC to join Al Michaels and Frank Gifford on Monday Night Football broadcasts.^[21] He spent 12 seasons on Monday Night Football game before resigning the post in early 1999.^[22]

On October 26, 1987, Gary Bender along with Lynn Swann called the Monday Dark Football game game between the Denver Broncos and the Minnesota Vikings. That game had been scheduled for October 25, simply when the Minnesota Twins (who at the time, shared the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome with the Vikings) played Game vii of the World Serial that day, the football was moved to Monday and shown to a regional audience. The game was therefore, only made available to the Minneapolis and Denver markets while the residual of the nation would encounter the game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns.

As part of the league's television contract renewal with the network in 1989, ABC was awarded the tv rights to Super Bowl XXV (at the terminate of the 1990 flavour) and Super Basin XXIX (at the end of the 1994 flavour), as well every bit one Wild Bill of fare game from each conference, during the first Saturday of the NFL playoffs.^[10]

1990–2005 [edit]

From 1990 until 2005, the package included seventeen (eighteen in 1992 and 1993) regular season games, the first two wild card playoff games (held on the beginning Sabbatum of the playoffs), and at times, the AFC–NFC Pro Bowl.^[10] Get-go in 2003, ABC dropped the Calendar week 17 game in favor of the opening Thursday nighttime game, which was function of sister channel ESPN the year earlier.

In 1997, Frank Gifford was replaced in the broadcast booth by Boomer Esiason in 1998.^{[23] [12] [24]} That flavor, he was reassigned to a nominal office for ABC's Monday dark pregame prove, but the programme was cancelled later 1 season. Gifford was non offered a new office by the network.^[25]

Prior to 1998, MNF aired at 9PM ET. Beginning in 1998 however, the game was moved to a 8:20PM ET kickoff.^[10] Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason replaced Gifford in 1998, and Dan Dierdorf was dropped afterward that flavor. Esiason wad dismissed later on the 1999 flavour due primarily to personal conflicts between him and Al Michaels.

After his time at NBC, producer Don Ohlmeyer was lured out of retirement in 2000 to spark interest and provide some vigor to the MNF broadcast. Also the on-air talent, Ohlmeyer'southward changes included clips of players introducing themselves, new graphics, employ of a sideline Steadicam, and music. In another temporary change, the score bug used nicknames of teams, such every bit "Skins" and "Fins", instead of the teams' bodily names or cities (the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins, in this example). He also made the controversial decision to hire comedian Dennis Miller to join Al Michaels and Dan Fouts^[26] in the broadcast booth, an experiment widely regarded in hindsight as a failure.^{[27] [28] [29] [thirty]}

Ohlmeyer left Monday Night Football game after ane flavour. Ratings for the program had dropped seven% compared to the previous year.^[31]

Despite having hired Miller and Fouts for some other year, ABC began negotiations with veteran football game commentator John Madden. Madden had worked at Fox Sports for eight years since the network had won the contract for the NFC Conference games abroad from CBS in 1998. Since getting the NFL contract, Trick had lost $4.iv billion (losing $387 million due to the contract in 2001 alone), and was looking to cut programming costs.^[32] Madden's contract for the next year would cost Fox $8 million so, when ABC was budgeted Madden, Play a trick on agreed to let him out of his remaining year on their contract. Despite having been hired for some other year, Miller and Fouts were replaced past Madden, who was signed on February 28, 2002, for $5 one thousand thousand a year for iv years. (Fouts remained with ABC, beingness moved to embrace college football; Miller was let become.)^[32]

The final exclusive Mon Night Football broadcast on ABC aired on Dec 26, 2005, when the New York Jets, who coincidentally played in the first MNF game, hosted the New England Patriots. ABC's final NFL telecast as part of their Monday Night Football contract would be Super Basin XL in on February 5, 2006, between the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers. Following the 2005 season, Monday Dark Football would move exclusively to ESPN.^[x]

Super Basin [edit]

As a result of the 1982 television contract signed by the NFL with the three networks, Super Bowl XIX to exist televised past ABC, as they earned their first plough at the Super Basin, with a new alternation process started for the 1983 game. Previously, the Super Bowl telecast alternated between CBS and NBC, while the networks simulcast the first AFL-NFL Globe Championship Game. Mon Night Football, happened to be celebrating its 15th flavor in 1984. Two more than ABC-aired Super Bowls would occur during major ceremony seasons for MNF – Super Bowl XXIX (besides won by the San Francisco 49ers) airtight out the 25th anniversary season (1994), and Super Bowl XXXIV (won past the St. Louis Rams, segmentation rivals of the 49ers) closed out the 30th ceremony season (1999).

Super Bowl XXII was the outset with the circulate team of Al Michaels, Frank Gifford, and Dan Dierdorf in the booth (as the 1987 flavor was the offset year the trio was together, with Dierdorf moving to ABC from CBS; Gifford was the merely holdover from ABC's Super Bowl 19 telecast). The trio went on to man the booth for ABC's Monday Night Football from 1987 to 1997 and called Super Bowls XXV and XXIX.

ABC did not broadcast the halftime show for Super Bowl XXV live. Instead, they televised a special ABC News report anchored by Peter Jennings on the progress of the Gulf War. The halftime show was later shown on tape delay afterwards the game at around 10:40 EST, although about ABC affiliates ran the first episode of Davis Rules following the Super Bowl, and may have televised the remaining parts of the halftime evidence later.

Brent Musburger hosted all the Super Basin XXIX pregame (2 hours), halftime, and postgame events with the help of then-ABC Sports analyst Dick Vermeil, Musburger's regular colour commentator on ABC'south college football telecasts, so-New York Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason. This would be the final Super Bowl hosted past Musburger, equally all subsequent Super Bowls on ABC were hosted past ESPN'southward Chris Berman following the Disney purchase of ABC (which included ESPN), and the subsequent integration of ESPN and ABC Sports (now ESPN on ABC). This was also was the final Super Bowl broadcast past the Monday Dark Football broadcast team of Michaels, Gifford and Dierdorf.

As previously mentioned, this was the broadcast team for Monday Night Football game from 1987 to 1997. They also worked ABC's coverage of Super Bowls XXII and XXV. This would as well be the last Super Basin aired on ABC until the 1999 season (when Al Michaels chosen the game with Boomer Esiason). Super Bowl XXXIV was the first Super Basin to be aired in high definition and v.1 Dolby Digital. ABC Sports chose to use the 720p format.^[33]

Super Bowl XXXVII was the outset of 3 major professional sports championship series ABC broadcast in 2003, equally they would besides circulate the Stanley Loving cup Finals and the NBA Finals. Al Michaels handled the play-by-play duties with colour commentator John Madden, who became the starting time person to announce Super Bowls on unlike networks in consecutive years, having called Super Bowl XXXVI on Flim-flam and then moving to ABC after Pat Summerall retired.

Although the Super Basin had largely been presented in high definition since Super Bowl XXXIV, Super Bowl XL was the first Super Bowl where all aspects of the game itself were aired in HD.^[34]

Wild Card Weekend [edit]

When the NFL expanded its Wild Bill of fare round to include a third team in each conference for the 1990 season, this added two additional playoff games to the slate. Equally such, ABC was given the rights to the Wild Card matchups aired on Sabbatum during that weekend. The Monday Night Football game broadcast team would cover the game that the network regarded as the marquee matchup of the ii. The other game was initially broadcast by ABC's #2 college football broadcast team of Brent Musburger and Dick Vermeil. Beginning with the 1996 season, the other game was broadcast by ESPN's Sun Nighttime Football team. Initially consisting of Mike Patrick, and Joe Theismann, the two were joined by Paul Maguire following NBC'south loss of circulate rights in 1998. The lonely exception came in 2002, when Musburger returned to call the AFC Wild Card game in New York with analyst Gary Danielson.
