ABC Nets Big TV Football Pact for 1970 71
The American Broadcasting Company secured rights to televise NCAA football for the 1970 and 1971 seasons in a deal worth about 25 million dollars. This follows a previous two year 20.4 million package and makes ABC the sole major network with rights to regular season college and professional football. The network also signed a three year pact to show Monday night pro football from 1970, totaling 39 games annually with 11 national and 28 regional telecasts and two to four night games plus a wild card each year.
