greasywheels121 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I don't think this is a bad thing. The AFL has always seemed interesting, and I think it could be an interesting watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's nothing else on, I'll check it out, but not appointment TV for me I'm even further on the spectrum. I just can't watch it. I don't think I've ever finished watching a single game, even when I didn't have cable, so it was basically NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS, and WB, and nothing else. I'd finish watching something, AFL would come on, and I'd prefer to read a magazine after a few minutes. Or re-read, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why there aren't any UFC commercials on ESPN, ESPN doesn't have money in MMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 The network will have a regular Monday night slot in which it will televise 14 games from March through June. The ArenaBowl title game in New Orleans will be July 29 on ABC, which also will show two regional season openers March 4 on Sunday afternoon. So they are going to televise these games during March Madness, the NBA playoffs, and the NHL playoffs. Great move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
