NEW YORK -- Are you ready for some football? On ESPN?
And NBC?
But not ABC.
"Monday Night Football," which 35 years ago was one of the
biggest gambles in television history and then became the backbone
of ABC's revival, is headed to cable. ESPN, which like ABC is owned
by The Walt Disney Co., will take over, beginning with the 2006
season, what has been a TV institution and made the NFL a
prime-time ratings draw.
