[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 433347, member: 1191"] Yes, The ESPNs are pay channels, but they are on the basic cable packages of most providers. As I have stated, the ACC channel will really change little. As has also been stated, most games are "televised" when you include streaming sites, so a few of those "streamed" games will move to a lower tier cable channel (ACC Network). There are no provisions to force ESPN to put a "fair" distribution of teams on its premium channels (ABC, ESPN, ESPN2) and unless GT magically starts bringing in tons more viewers, then we won't routinely get those games, unless we're playing a major opponent. So yes, those 3, plus VT, will get the bulk of the prime time slots on the main channels, and most of them on the ACC network as well. The other slots will typically go to the teams playing those 4. Sure, there will be other matchups in those slots on the ACC channel from time to time, but again, other than the preferred time slot, what does that really gain a team? It's still a game on a lower tier channel that few outside of die hard fans is going to tune in to, therefore, playing at 7:00 PM on the ACC channel does little to build our brand. Ultimately, the ACC Network isn't about increasing the viewership of ACC Football, but rather it was pushed in order to milk more money from the networks in negotiations and royalties. It has accomplished its main goal. [/QUOTE]
