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. 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 completed its fourth season on December 5, 2009.

[edit] Overview
While ABC and ESPN have aired college football games on Saturday nights for decades, this program marks the first time that a collegiate sporting program has officially been part of any major over-the-air network's primetime schedule.
Twelve weeks of games were televised during the 2006 college football season during the three-month period, with the Dr Pepper 2006 Big 12 Championship Game closing out the season on December 2, 2006. Twelve weeks of games were televised for the 2007 season again with the 2007 Big 12 Championship Game ending the season on December 1, 2007. 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. Twelve weeks of games were televised during the 2009 college football season, concluding with the 2009 Big 12 Championship Game on December 5, 2009.
Besides Pac-10 and Big Ten games, ABC makes most of its selections 12 days prior to the game. 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), while all other college football broadcasts on ABC and ESPN use the ESPN college football theme music.
