ManningCast Loses Most of Its Audience Since 2021 as NFL Network Alternative Closes the Gap

ESPN2’s ManningCast, hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning, has been one of the most popular alternative broadcasts and commentary on Monday Night Football over the past few years, starting in 2021. But things changed since ESPN acquired the NFL Network in February this year, and they came back with ‘MNF Playbook with Next Gen Stats.’ The program was first launched last year but made its NFL Network debut on October 12. However, viewership stats suggest this could be bad news for ManningCast.
