Seahawks-Giants on ‘Monday Night Football’ gets ABC simulcast due to Hollywood strikes

If you’ve kept up with entertainment news lately, you’ll be aware that there are ongoing strikes by both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). You’re probably wondering what the heck this has to do with NFL football. Well when there’s a void in prime-time programming, you need to fill those voids.

Enter ‘Monday Night Football’ on ESPN. There are probably enough younger NFL fans who have only known MNF as an ESPN staple, but for roughly 35 years it was the go-to evening programming for ABC.
