ABC announced today that the Notre-Dame-Temple college football game will be televised on Saturday, October 31st at 8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT on Halloween night. The network said however following the loss of ABC and its sister channel ESPN's late-season NASCAR telecast to the National Broadcasting Company's NBC and NBCSN networks last summer, originally a "bye week" would be included in October, which was on the last one (the 31st) in order to avoid compelling with the World Series telecast on Fox (in which Game 4 of the Fall Classic will take place on the same night). Now with the big announcement from ESPN, there will now be some competition after all on Halloween (unless a rained out in a World Series game if needed), stay tuned.
FOX is owned by 21st Century Fox.
ABC and ESPN are owned by The Walt Disney Company with Hearst Corporation owning a mintory share of ESPN.
NBC and NBCSN are owned by Comcast/NBCUnivesal.
