Associated Press: ESPN’s NFL wild-card game will also air on ABC this season, with the league looking to expand the audience a year after it televised a playoff matchup on cable for the first time. The same broadcast will be shown on partners ESPN and ABC in January. ESPN added a wild-card game last season under the NFL’s new TV deals. As with “Monday Night Football,” simulcasts aired on local channels in the two teams’ home markets. Now anyone with a TV will be able to watch.
