Report: ABC to Rejoin Super Bowl Broadcast Rotation for 1st Time Since 2006

ABC is reportedly set to rejoin the Super Bowl broadcast rotation after its parent company, Disney, and the NFL agreed to a new media rights deal.

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, the new agreement will return ABC to the Super Bowl rotation along with NBC, CBS and Fox for the first time since 2006.

The agreement also marks the Disney's renewal of its rights for Monday Night Football, which has aired on ESPN since the 2006 season after airing on ABC from 1970-2005.

However, Brian McCarthy of the NFL public relations department said a deal is not in place yet, per Mark Maske of the Washington Post.
