Dancing with the Stars is queued behind more than two programmes when MNF is broadcast on an ABC affiliate channel in an NFL team 's home market .
In several cases where ESPN coverage of Monday Night Football airs instead on an ABC affiliate in an NFL team 's home market , the program is delayed to air immediately after that station 's local news , and a voting window confined only to the area codes of the pre-empted market is opened up to allow affected viewers to still put their votes in for the competition , though this is on a market-by-market basis ( in some markets , an alternate sister station or digital subchannel carries the program live as scheduled ) .Seasons 1 and 3 featured only two couples in the final week instead of three .
