Monday Night Football (MNF), with the dream team of Al Michaels and John Madden in the booth, is celebrating its 35th anniversary season on ABC and has become the most successful primetime sports series in television history. MNF has been a Top 10 primetime program for the last 15 seasons, as well as network television's number one ranked show in key male demographics.

NBA broadcasts made ABC the top-rated network every night during the five-game Finals. In 2005, ABC will once again present a full slate of regular season, playoff and NBA Finals games with Al Michaels calling the play-by-play.

ABC’s college football tradition spans 39 consecutive years, featuring the best teams and players from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Mountain West and PAC-10 conferences and culminating in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), an ABC success for six years. On January 4, 2005, ABC broadcasts the BCS Championship game, the FedEx Orange Bowl. Recently, ABC secured key long-term deals to extend the broadcast rights contract for the ACC and the Rose Bowl.

ABC Sports also is the home of: the British Open – the centerpiece of the network’s golf coverage, which encompasses PGA Tour events such as the TOUR Championship; the Indianapolis 500 – the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”; the U.S. Figure Skating Championships; and, for the 42nd straight year, the Little League World Series.
