My Understanding on the ACC Network providers


Aug 16, 2019, 9:01 AM

Hearing from Comcast that ESPN is holding "hard" to the line, the ACC Network is "only" available to providers that will include it in their ESPN. ESPN2, ESPNNews, ESPNU, SEC, tier.

If that is the case, there will not be a line item on your bill for the ACC Network, instead it will be included in the sports tier that includes the aforementioned networks.

I suppose that the provider can up the price on that tier to include it, but there will not be an "optional" pick by customers to include /exclude the ACC Network without cutting all those other channels.

That is good news , if accurate for the ACC wallet.

That is how all of the sports networks have worked. Disney has something like 50+ channels on your normal provider list. The biggest problem is the timing. The SEC/B1G networks hit at the peak of college football viewership and prior to the edge of streaming services. Disney is now facing immense pressure to transition to a streaming service outside of Hulu to keep all of its channels. Streaming services are forced to keep cost low and that is counter to adoption of large packages of channels. The good news is even though the ACC is late, they are still ahead of the full transition to streaming and the existing deal should get them through the transition. By then the entire platform will have changed.

Yes Swoff protecting of his Raycom son caused the ACCN to miss the optimum window of opportunity.
