WWE Raw is getting some additional competition this football
season as the network ABC announced that they will broadcast
six additional Monday Night Football games to boost ratings.
The addition of simulcast games on ESPN and ABC spells bad
news for Raw since usually simulcast games take a bigger chunk
of the WWE audience. Raw will be helped by the fact that it is
now two hours and not three, so the third hour will not be
there to drag down the overall number.
Raw will only be spared twice this season, with the November
11 and December 2 MNF games the only two dates which ESPN will
air the games without the simulcast on ABC.
