“Retaining 'Monday Night Football' simply did not make smart financial sense for ABC. We could not reconcile the fees against the revenue. We love football at ABC. It's been a love affair for 36 years. It will go down in the history of sports television, being created on ABC and with this magnificent run.

We're not looking back .” YearsRunningMovingNightGivenSportsTelevisionFootballProductsSmartAffairFinancialEntertainmentMagnificentLooking BackMondayRevenueLove AffairReconcileFeesRetainingMonday NightMonday Night Football Author:George Bodenheimer
