Really good info on ACC vs SEC network tier/package availability

See this from Comcast:

For years, Atlantic Coast Conference sports aired on ESPN and other networks at no additional cost to customers. Now, ESPN has launched the ACC Network, a new TV network that will carry some of the ACC games. Unfortunately, they are demanding a large fee to carry it. This would mean that all customers, even those who do not watch ACC sports, would need to pay more.

Many ACC games are still available on broadcast and cable channels without the new network. However, in support of our customers, Comcast will not carry the ACC Network until we reach an agreement at a fair and reasonable cost.

https://www.xfinity.com/facts/accnetwork?CMP=KNC-43700046938173226-GOOGLE-380231519947-c-comcast%20acc%20network-e-ACCDispute_BR_Exact_NAT&gclid=CjwKCAjwtuLrBRAlEiwAPVcZBnyqc0uEOSvRyqtRSkCUPDWhHVbWOKJQSHjdlRgfrEjY_WgMjS1DYxoCyEEQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

So essentially, for years we've been subsidizing the SEC by paying for the SEC network, but now they're taking the high road on the ACC.

DUMP COMCAST!!!

From what I’ve heard/read the ACCN wants B1GN and SECN money without proven viewership. Those networks started cheaper than where ACCN is trying to start. ACCN is trying to jump in at a higher market value based on the other two without proven viewers. Like everything else Swofford does, it’s done wrong.

Also, I get the both those and the longhorn network with U-Verse. Not looking good for getting ACCN too.

Not sure about BTN, but that's incorrect on the SECN - it started higher than the ACCN!

As for viewership, what numbers that have been released so far show STRONG viewership for ACCN.

Good TV audience for the first live FB game on the ACCN. https://t.co/w3MWqzLlTT
