	'Monday Night Football' Changes the Channel (washingtonpost.com)
		ABC's "Monday Night Football," which revolutionized broadcasting of the National Football League when it was launched 35 years ago, will end its unprecedented run on network television after the 2005 season and move to the ESPN cable network.
		ABC reportedly had been losing about $150 million a year on Monday nights in its eight-year deal with the NFL that expires after the 2005 season, and ratings for the telecast have been trending downward in recent seasons.
		The shift of "Monday Night Football" from network to cable television marks the end of an era in television sports broadcasting and reflects a broader transformation of how NFL games are televised as the league seeks to maintain its core viewers while attracting a new generation of fans.

	Madden leaves Fox for ABC - Feb. 28, 2002
		ABC Sports President Howard Katz also pointed out that Madden will be able to contribute to ESPN, Disney's all-sports cable network, and that since ABC has only one game a week rather than the seven broadcast by Fox, Madden's impact on the network would be greater than it would be for Fox.
		Monday Night Football is one of the strongest sports broadcasting franchises, with a rating among the top 10 of any primetime program.
		Monday Night Football has rarely worked with only two announcers in the broadcast booth, but Katz said given Madden and Michaels' strength, it was decided that the pairing would work best without a third voice.

		New York Jets fans hold up a sign during the last ABC Monday night NFL football game, Dec. 26, 2005, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The phrase was said by 'Dandy' Don Meredith, one of the announcers, at the end of each broadcast.
		Thus began a night that was less a football game than an excuse to queue up the highlight reel.
		ABC sprinkled in bits of footage that defined the show through the years, from Cosell's outrageous pontificating to Don Meredith's drawling serenades.

		Based on ABC’s loss of football and what’s already scheduled for midseason, most media pundits are guessing that CBS will take the lead, but less dramatically than ABC will have done in the first half of the season.

	Will ABC sack 'Monday Night Football'? - baltimoresun.com
		In recent years, though, the struggling Disney-owned network has been losing about $150 million annually on "Monday Night Football." ABC pays the National Football League $550 million a year for the rights to air the Monday matchups, but advertising revenue doesn't come close to covering the costs.
		ABC, which analysts say is losing about $250 million a year, $150 million of that from "Monday Night Football," might be hard-pressed to swallow another gargantuan NFL fee increase -- even though the program has been the network's top-rated show for the last three seasons.
		Ratings for "Monday Night Football" have slipped over the last decade, although viewership has stabilized since 2002 with the hiring of John Madden to join play-by-play announcer Al Michaels.

		Municipal Stadium was jammed with 85,703 fans that first night as ABC began a broadcasting odyssey with Keith Jackson doing play-by-play and ex-quarterback Meredith sharing analysis and wisecracks with Cosell.

		One wild card is whether NBC Universal, which lost football in 1998, would be willing to get back into the game if "Monday Night Football" or another NFL package becomes available.
		Some owners of ABC affiliate stations, their patience wearing thin as the network's sinking prime-time ratings have affected their revenue, say re-upping for "Monday Night Football" should be a no-brainer.

		Another season for ''Monday Night Football,'' another bloodletting in the broadcast booth.
		Now that football deity John Madden has been called in to replace comedian-turned-commentator Dennis Miller and that other guy (Dan Fouts), ABC finally has the jock-meets-jocular star it's been craving.
		While the 66-year-old Madden is 18 years older than Miller, the Alphabet still thinks the guy can round up younger viewers for its beleaguered franchise (viewership has dropped 20 percent over the past five seasons), primarily because his eponymous videogame has been so wildly successful with the kids.

	Will ABC sack 'Monday Night Football'? \| Chicago Tribune
		"'Monday Night Football' is a good investment for ABC," said Dean Bonham, chief executive of Bonham Group, a Denver-based sports marketing firm.
		Although sports contracts have become increasingly expensive, there might be a payoff down the road, said media analyst Tom Wolzien of Sanford C. Bernstein and Co. If ad-zapping, TiVo-like recording devices become more mainstream, advertisers probably will pay a premium to advertise on programs such as live sports that viewers will watch in real time.
		"If they are serious about fixing the network — and I think they are — then fixing the network doesn't equate to losing 'Monday Night Football,'" said Darrell Brown, general manager of ABC affiliate KMGH-TV Channel 7 in Denver.
