FC/OT: ACC announces broadcasting deal with - *checks notes* - The CW.
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Isn't that where the LIV is broadcast?
Yeah - but they were streaming for free on YouTube before CW.
Holy smokes. This may be the beginning of the end for the ACC as we know it. The SEC and B1G are about to run circles around the ACC in exposure and marketing.
What an idiot. Even if you think that, you don’t say it. It’s coaching 101.
“Well, you know, they’re a good team. They play hard, they’ve got a couple of guys that can beat you if don’t figure out a way to stop them. We’re going to have our hands full when we play them.”
Cue the obligatory “the CW has fewer viewers than Pitt does in the stands at home games” jokes.
This is a better deal for the ACC than the previous setup where these were the Raycom games that were then regional broadcasts sold to a motley collection of local networks (mostly to Bally sports channels). With the Diamond Sports Group that owns the Bally sports networks going belly up, this is the new home.
Most ACC games will still otherwise be on ESPN networks (ABC, ESPN/ESPN2, ACC Network, etc).
An interesting side story to this is that CW was rumored to be bidding for the Pac-12 rights, which would certainly compliment the ACC games if it were to happen.

As soon as CW can figure how to give each viewer a free soft drink at the end of the game, viewership will skyrocket.
