History

Monday Night Football is also broadcast in Canada on TSN and RDS, and in most of Europe. On September 7, 1987, Monday Night Football became the first live sports event to be broadcast in stereophonic sound.
In 2006, ABC’s flagship station in New York City, WABC-TV, aired a one-hour documentary program titled NFL Monday Night Mania during the lead-up to that year’s MNF game between the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings. The show featured behind-the-scenes footage shot during the week leading up to that particular game.
Monday Night Football was originally conceived by ABC Sports president Roone Arledge in 1964 as a potential replacement for NFL broadcasts on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television network. Arledge realized that the demand for professional football was strong enough that it could be effectively combined with another live sporting event—professional wrestling—which was also very popular but had lost its Saturday night television outlet when CBS stopped televising it in 1955.

History
FOX began as a cable channel when it was launched in October 1986. The network was founded by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who also owned 20th Century Fox at the time. He envisioned the network as a way to broadcasts sporting events that would appeal to a wider audience than just fans of the particular sport.
The first broadcast on FOX was an NFL game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. The game was a huge ratings success, and FOX quickly became the go-to place for live sporting events. Over the years, the network has broadcast MLB, NASCAR, college football and basketball, boxing, and UFC. In 1994, FOX outbid NBC for the rights to broadcast NFL games, solidifying its reputation as a sports powerhouse.
In recent years, FOX has also become known for its popular primetime programming, such as “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “Empire,” and “The X-Files.” The network has also had success with live musical productions, such as “Grease: Live” and “The Passion.”
