 Sunday & Monday Night Football Changes - DBSTalk.Com
Monday Night Football will move to ESPN from ABC beginning with the 2006 season for the blockbuster sum of $1.1 billion per year for eight years, and NBC will return to the NFL with a six-year deal to telecast Sunday night games for an estimated $600 million per year, industry sources said Monday.
The ESPN deal for Monday night football really highlights the need for new regulations forcing multi-channel providers like Disney to "unbundle" their channels and allow cable and satellite distributors to make their own decisions about how they want to package and sell channels.
Unfortunately ESPN has also become the most expensive channel in the typical satellite/cable package, and almost every subscriber pays for it because Disney refuses to allow it to be moved out of basic packages of channels.

 JS Online: Back to Monday Night drawing board
The pro football broadcast most everyone likes to talk about is ABC-TV's "Monday Night Football," a show that is not yet settled, not exactly sure what it wants to be, one buffeted by too much change in recent years.
Maybe the prime-time broadcast more people should be talking about is ESPN's "Sunday Night Football," which is much more settled, which has a better sense of what it is and what it wants to do.
Monday might be about a football game, but it's a prime-time show that has to deliver something other, or something more, than football.
