''Monday Night Football'' (''MNF'') (Known as ''FORD'' Monday Night Football for sponsorship reasons) is a football programme on Sky Sports which broadcasts live English football from the Barclays Premier League. ==Original run== Sky television's acquisition of rights to broadcast live Premier League football from the start of the 1992–93 season saw them attempt innovations such as digital on-screen graphics (DOG) and Monday Night live games. The first Monday Night Football game broadcast was between Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers on 17 August 1992, which ended in a 1-1 draw.〔(Manchester City club history )〕 To give the broadcasts a different look to Sky's ''Ford Super Sunday'' strand, the broadcaster introduced the ''Sky Strikers'', a dance troupe similar to American cheerleaders.〔(Girls who give Sky high kicks ) the ''Independent''〕 This pre-match and half-time entertainment was dropped after the first season. The show had a number of different formats after its launch. The first change led to the merging of Andy Gray's Boot Room format into the show; analysing the previous weekend's football matches utilising the latest computer technology combined with Gray's individual analysis. As the UEFA Champions League gained in importance for Premier League clubs, the number of games played on Monday night declined. Sky Sports then reverted to a format similar to that of ''Ford Super Sunday'' with a presenter (Jeff Stelling) and studio guests. In 2004–05, the analysis section was then incorporated into an additional programme shown after ''Ford Super Sunday'' called ''Ford Super Sunday: The Last Word''. The show ended after the 2006–07 season when Setanta and subsequently ESPN obtained the rights for Monday night Premier League games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ford Monday Night Football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
