ACC Network Updates

[Bennett]

Spectrum/Charter picking up the ACC network is huge. Them and Comcast have the biggest foot print and I don't see Comcast holding out with their main competition carrying the network

I think Spectrum customers (I am none) are fortunate that Spectrum has a wide NC and SC footprint. That had to help get them off the duff.

I think there were some WOW customers out there...

Well, that sucks. I wonder how they were even able to get a response from anyone at WOW. I've trying to no avail for 4 months.

If Comcast gives in, then WOW will HAVE to do so also.

Did you try communicating to them on Twitter or Facebook, SS? These groups seem to answer their social media questions, but you are right, it is very hard to get them on the phone, or at least the person you need.

No, I have not tried on FB, and I seldom use Twitter

Awful Announcing: A new Charter-Disney carriage deal will include the ACC Network

Glenn’s July report said that ACCN had 20 million-plus estimated subscribers at that point, and that it was expected to be in the 30-50 million subscriber range by launch. If this deal does come with the majority of Charter households, the network has now cleared the low end of that, and if they’re closer to the 36 million mark, that would put them at almost double the eight-year-old Pac-12 Networks (19 million as per Glenn’s piece). That’s still a ways behind the estimates for SEC Network (59 million) and Big Ten Network (55 million), but it seems quite good for a new network’s launch, especially in a 2019 environment that’s seeing lots of pushback towards specialty sports channels.

Well AT&T do something

Do they really compete though? Cable companies basically have local monopolies. Their competition is satellite and streaming. Unless the local government renegotiates because they are unhappy with the cable service?

These companies are losing customers left and right. I’m sure they’re trying to hold out as long as possible to leverage a better deal.

Waiting on Dish. Don’t have many options due to spotty internet.

directv is carrying it i believe.....

Anybody hear anything from Dish? I called them a week ago about ACCN and Fox Sports (which they are currently in a pissing contest with, so no Braves for me) and told them that without FS and ACCN I had no reason to keep them. They gave me a month free and a promise they were doing everything they could...

dish does this all the time. It angered me enough about 5 years ago, same pissing match with fox, i canceled and went to directv. Then, as hulu live and others came up to speed I cut the cord and wow never will look back. hulu live and youtubetv are great; 45-50 bucks and no contract. Total position flexibility.

I read something yesterday that Spectrum had agreed to carry the ACC net with its Disney/ESPN content. Probably will add $ to an already bloated bill. I don't have any other options now than satellite and I have too many tall trees blocking the signal. Just glad I can get the games now.

if you get cable, can you not buy a nice cable modem package and do hulu or youtube tv? Thats what I do. I have xfinity internet with my own modem and router, and stream an online service. Both internet and online tv combined is only 95 a month; and thats every sports channel out there, and a good channel lineup.

I have the exact same set up with 300 mps internet from Comcast with YouTube TV. Mine is $95.00 a month and im happier than a pig in ****. YouTube TVs sports package is unrivaled which is the whole reason I went with them anyways (The only sports channel they don't have is NFL Network and NFL Redzone).
