Well the tragedy here is that if you don't have cable you may miss out. But I saw what you saw on ESPN. CHeck out the link in my sources. There's also a poll on that page to vote and you may see what others think. Here's a bit of that article.\n "NBC takes over Sunday night next season from ESPN, which will broadcast Monday Night Football. John Madden, Michaels' partner for the last four seasons, agreed in June to a six-year contract with NBC.\nBesides Madden and Michaels, NBC will have Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth as co-hosts of the network's studio show."

Univision broadcasts all games channel 23, and they play back them one more time on TELEFURURA channel 20. \nIf you have cable you can watch them on ESPN channel 42 on English. ABC is going to broadcast some too.

It's all about money. The contracts the networks had signed with the NFL expired after this season, so they renegotiated at the beginning of the season.\n\nSunday Night Football is moving to ESPN because ABC (a sister station to ESPN as both are owned by Disney) wants to open its Monday Night Lineup to other "regular" TV shows, especially with the success of "Boston Legal", "Gray's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives." \n\nStarting next year, NBC is going to broadcast the Sunday Night Football games since they haven't had any successful primetime Sunday shows for quite some time.

Depends on your cable or satellite system.  No, ABC and ESPN are not the same channel.

they won't be live.  Fox, CBS, NBC, and ESPN will carry the playoff games live.

ESPN Classic usually airs the best game of that week.  It was a good game.

The official schedule will be posted on www.soccertv.com around May 1. According to them all games will be shown either live or slightly tape-delayed in the US. There will be 12 games on ABC, 21 games on ESPN, and 31 games on ESPN2, in both standard and high-definition.

I don’t think they ever can when they are competing directly with the NFL.  I am a big fan of both sports.  I am just glad I have a split screen ability on my TV.  I read this week now they are going to start the races later in the day.  If I remember correctly they will start no race earlier than 2pm EST, this might help.  I would like to see NASCAR move races to Saturday night.  I think this would help them gain more viewers.

Two seasons ago, the rules changed from a best-of-5 series in the first round (first 2 on home advantage team's court, next 2 on the other team's court, and the decisive) to a best-of-7 game series (2-2-1-1-1). The second round and the conference finals have the same format, but the NBA Finals, althought is also a best-of-7 games series, the format is different (2-3-2).\n\nHope that answer your question and any other doubt regarding the playoffs.

NFL only has a contract with CBS and Fox for daytime games; and they sure can't show 2 games at the same time on one channel. And only one channel shows a double-header. it's a darn shame.\nBut beginning this year, Sunday Night Football has been on NBC at 8:30 PM.

I think it has to do with it being football season. If it were baseball season, there would be more baseball stuff. ESPN always has its "Instant Classics" during the season. I'm sure that then the NBA heats up, you will see more NBA stuff on there, although I'm not sure about the NHL, seeing how ESPN no longer carries it. They just go with whatever is the major sport at the time.

last year it was abc, but abc lost the out so now it is on ESPN. Sorry to report this, since it sounds to me you either do not get ESPN or do not like ESPN.
