off topic- is it ture?

[s dog]

I heard today that ABC lost monday night football and it was picked up by ESPN. If this is ture a lot of guys who cant afford cable or do not have it available in there area will be mad as h*ll i would think, i just wonder why this happen, and if it is ture or did i just hear a lot of bull at work today

high bidder gets the contract. It's not always about viewership.

ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney. Somewhere in the Mouse House, this makes sense. In the real world however, I don't get it.

ABC has Monday Night Football in 2005; ESPN gets it in 2006. NBC appears to be doing a similar thing on Sunday nights in 2006.
