Monday Night Football Booth History:
Since Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, and Don Meredith debuted MNF on ABC in 1970, the booth has evolved from broadcast journalism to premier talent bidding wars. In 2022, ESPN secured Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from Fox to stabilize their marquee primetime franchise, culminating in this verified 9-figure continuation agreement.
