Watching TSN, they have the Eagles Vs. Patriots that happens to be on ESPN aswell as ABC ...

ESPN is running their Monday Night Football Countdown .. which I thought TSN had the rights to? I thought they showed MNF Countdown on TSN ... when did this stop?

Are you sure MNF is on ABC up there?

It's only on ESPN down here in the US.

The only time it would be on ABC if, one of the team's ABC channel showing it. Meaning, either Philly or Boston, their ABC channel would show the ESPN game as they are both owned by the same company.

I have the Boston ABC WCVB? So i guess since its a Patriots game, they have the rights to show the MNF feed ..

Using a Boston Zip Code, I see on zap2it has the NFL game on the Boston ABC WCVB channel.

TSN will show ESPN Monday Night Countdown during the regular season. This is just pre-season.

Okay, thanks for the clarification guys.

Ah, I forgot about the local carry. That makes sense. Unfortunately for Bills fans in Buffalo, WBBZ is carrying the cable primetime games this year, which is stupid. Thank God it's only one (Thursday Night NFL Network game).
