Rozelle Eyes Monday Night Football and TV Expansion
NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle suggested boosting Monday night games to attract broader TV audiences and reduce Sunday exposure. He noted NFL teams earn about 1.2 million annually from TV while AFL teams receive 850 thousand and predicted lower NFL income after the 1970 league merger. Rozelle outlined potential rule changes on waivers and drafts, and said expansion plans would wait until the early 1970s with Birmingham Seattle Portland and Phoenix seen as strong possibilities.
