Introduction
Monday Night Football is an American tradition that dates back to the 1970 NFL season. Each week during the NFL season, millions of fans tune in to watch the game of the week. The game is broadcast nationally on ESPN, and each week, a different city hosts the game. Tonight’s game is between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.
History of the Monday Night Game
The first Monday Night Football game was played on September 21, 1970, between the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. The game, which was televised on ABC, was a great success and led to the network televising more NFL games on Monday nights.
In 1987, the Monday Night Football broadcast moved to ESPN, where it has remained ever since. The move allowed ESPN to televise games on Monday nights that were not available on other networks, such as games featuring small-market teams or teams with poor records.
Monday Night Football has been a fixture on ESPN ever since and is one of the network’s highest-rated programs. In recent years, however, ratings for the show have declined somewhat, as viewers have increasingly turned to other options for their football fix.
How the Monday Night Game is Chosen
Monday Night Football is an American tradition that dates back to the early days of television. The game is broadcast on ESPN and is always the highest-rated show on cable TV for that week. But how is the Monday Night Football game chosen? And what factors go into the decision?
The Monday Night Football game is typically the best matchup of the week and is therefore chosen by ESPN’s producers for that reason. However, there are a number of other factors that go into the decision, including:
-The teams’ records
-The teams’ recently success (or lack thereof)
-The teams’ fan bases
-The location of the game (home or away)
-The weather forecast for game day
-ESPN’s production schedule for other games that week
