Unfortunately, KATU TV, (the local (Portland) ABC affiliate) in its
infinite wisdom, does indeed tape-delay Monday night football by an hour,
so that it airs at 7pm rather than 6pm.  Most football fans I've talked to
don't like it, but KATU seems not to care.  I believe that KOMO in Seattle
also does this.  Can anyone in Seattle confirm this?  Do they do it even
when the Seahawks are playing on MNF?

Other than watching a game that the rest of the country already knows
the result of, my options seen to be:
 - don't watch
 - listen to the game on the radio
 - tape the game, and watch it at my own convenience
 - get a strong enough TV antenna to pick up the Eugene ABC affiliate ~100
	miles to the south
