You'll need cable to watch Monday Night Football...

The NFL just announced that Monday Night Football will be shown on ESPN instead of ABC next season and Sunday Night Football will be moved to NBC. ABC will be the only major network not to be carrying the NFL, although broadcasts will remain under the Disney company umbrella with ESPN.

Since so many people now have cable and games will still be shown on broadcast stations in local markets, I don't really see this as having a major impact on NFL viewership, although it may be an annoyance to some used to relying on broadcast television for their MNF fix. NBC hasn't had NFL games in a while... I always like to compare how different networks approach broadcasts of the same sport.
