DALLAS — ABC will be airing more “Monday Night Football” games than originally planned this season.
An additional 10 games, originally set to appear only on ESPN, will now also be simulcast on ABC. These additional games will be on network television at least in part because of the ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents Disney, Netflix, Amazon and others.
The strikes, which have been going on for months, have delayed most of the upcoming fall television season.
When the NFL schedule was announced in May, ABC had four exclusive regular-season games, and five being part of an ESPN simulcast. This latest move means ABC has a game all 18 weeks of the regular season, along with simulcasts of two playoff games.
And not only can fans here in North Texas catch those games on WFAA, but we've also made sure that those who plan on tuning into the game by using antennas will get as crisp a broadcast feed of WFAA as possible.
WFAA recently boosted its tower signal strength to ensure better-quality reception for our viewers throughout the North Texas region.
