Fewer ‘Monday Night Football’ games will be simulcast on ABC – Awful Announcing

Awful Announcing
Monday Night Football will be available in fewer ways during the 2024 season than it was in 2023.
While Monday Night Football is an ESPN broadcast, games were simulcast on its sister station, ABC, during the 2023 NFL season. While the simulcasts will not go away in 2024, they will not be a weekly thing either.
The key difference? The writer’s strike that kept most shows from airing new episodes in the later part of 2023 has been resolved. With that, ABC will return to a more normal fall schedule in 2024. Though a handful of games will still be simulcast and ABC will be the exclusive provider of three.
Citing John Ourand, the Sports TV Ratings Twitter/X account tweeted on Thursday night, “Monday Night Football will not be simulcast every week on ABC this year as it was last year due to writers strike.
“ABC will still simulcast 5-6 games and have 3 exclusives that won’t be on ESPN,” the report added.
