In October 2013, it was announced that ESPN had acquired the rights to all Monday Night Football broadcasts from 2015 through 2022; under terms of that agreement, simulcasts of MNF games would be shown on both ESPN and ABC beginning in 2015 (with production of those simulcasts being shifted from ABC Studios—which had produced NFL telecasts for sister network since 2006—to ESPN).
