User blog:Cbcarter34/Are You Ready for Some Football?! MyTV to air simulcasts of Monday Night Football beginning Fall 2018

Fresh off the hiils of a successful simulcast of the College Football Playoff and National Championship on MyTV, CEO Brian Frons and ESPN's interim chairman George Bodenheimer announced that beginning in September of 2018, MyTV will air a simulcast of ESPN's Monday Night Football.

"This is a tremendous honor to bring Monday Night Football back to network television, sort to speak. We knew that ABC couldn't do it due the huge success that Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchises have been, so we saw a golden opportunity to ask about doing a simulcast of Monday Night Football for ESPN for the benefit of those that doesn't have cable. (Former ESPN President) John Skipper and I have had discussed it for a while following the College Football Playoff simulcast, and I asked him about MyTV doing it for Monday Night Football. He thought it was a great idea, and I'm glad that George thought so, too and gave the green light," Frons said.

Ever since purchasing MyTV in March of last year, Disney/ABC has begun to not only upgrading the network, but now has made MyTV a serious contender for the best network on TV. Under Disney/ABC's leadership, MyTV has successfuly expanded to 3 hours of programming for prime time, a great game show block and a great soap opera block. With Monday Night Baseball coming in April, MyTV and it's sports network, MyTV Sports Network, has benefited greatly from Disney/ABC.
