Monday Night Football on BBC HD Channel

[Qualcomm]

The Week 13 MNF game (Giants at Redskins) will now be shown on the BBC HD Channel as well as the Red Button and BBC Sport website.

Darren Fletcher and Rocky Boiman will be in the studio presenting.

More details to follow tomorrow.

Superb.

Just Week 13, or "from now on" ?

Hope this can be confirmed thru the end of the season.

Hopefully it's for the rest of the season.

Must be a good sign for red button ratings...

I like the direction this is taking, after initial rumblings of disappointment from many, its turning into a good looking deal.

[Bosox]

Plenty of people suggested this solution from week 1, bizarre that it's taken the powers that be until week 13 to twig that it might be a good idea. Oh well, shouldn't be churlish, this is a good move and with all the other improvements the BBC MNF programme is now much much better than when it began. Now if they could just get round to sorting the stupid cutting away to captions of the commentators and therefore missing analysis (and the 5 minute delay on the pictures).

great work even if its taken 13 weeks but yay and just in time for the most important MNF of the season
(although as pointed out i like many did say this was an option at the start.)

[Mildrop]

Great News, will it also appear on IPlayer?

[RavDP]

Hell yes! And I booked Monday and Tuesday off today as well....how convenient...now if only RG3 has a bad game!

You don't need to subscribe to get BBC HD, as long as you have a Sky+ HD box then you'll get it whether you pay for the HD pack or not.

Good news on the recordable coverage either way!
