ABC Saturday Night College Football
Encyclopedia
ESPN Saturday Night Football on ABC presented by Southwest Airlines is a weekly presentation of college football
on the American Broadcasting Company
(ABC
). Premiering on September 2, 2006, the program features prime time
college football games starting at 8:00 p.m. ET
. For the majority of games in 2006, the play-by-play announcer was Brent Musburger
with analysts Bob Davie and Kirk Herbstreit
and sideline reporter Lisa Salters
. Davie was taken off the package in 2007, and Erin Andrews
was added as a second sideline reporter in 2008 for the first three games. Andrews replaced Salters in 2010. Other broadcast teams are used for regional games and some national games. The current presenting sponsor for Saturday Night Football is Southwest Airlines
.
Saturday Night Football began its sixth season on September 3, 2011.
Twelve weeks of games were televised during the 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010 college football seasons during the three-month periods, with the Dr Pepper
Big 12 Championship Game closing out the seasons each year. With the college football season longer by a week, thirteen weeks of games were televised for the 2008, closing with the 2008 Big 12 Championship Game
on December 6, 2008.
Besides Pac-12 and Big Ten games, ABC makes most of its selections or its options 12 days prior to the game (with some made six days beforehand). This allows ABC to 'flex' the most compelling game it has the rights to broadcast into the Saturday Night Football slot. Thus the Saturday night game is usually ABC's game of the week.
Saturday Night Football games essentially replace noon games, which aired sporadically on the West Coast because affiliates were airing E/I
-compliant children's programming to meet FCC licensing guidelines. A few noon games still air on ABC, however. Typically these games occur when the Saturday Night Football game is pre-empted or the occasional tripleheader that ABC airs.
Saturday Night Football uses a variation of ABC's decades-old college football theme music (this variation originated from ABC broadcasts of bowl games starting in 1998, and was updated in 2010 along with the rest of ESPN and ABC's college football music), while all other college football broadcasts on ABC and ESPN use the ESPN college football theme music
