Raycom takes new role as ACC Network plans to debut

[GTFLETCH]

Raycom won't be calling the shots - but they will be involved in producing programming for the ACC network as an ESPN sub-contractor. “We got a very, very good — lucrative — production contract from ESPN,” Raycom CEO Jimmy Rayburn said. “A lot of the games next year will still be produced from top to bottom, but they just won’t have the Raycom name on it.

The article states that Raycom will also continue to serve as the league's digital partner. That answers I question I had about the fate of the ACC Digital Network - it sounds like it will still be around.

Raycom will also help develop some [non-live-sports] programming on the ACC Network.
Besides live events, plenty of studio shows will break down action from around the league in addition to short documentary-style productions, detailing historic events and figures or highlighting notable current athletes and coaches.

It would be really cool if "A Player's Perspective" got picked up by the ACC Network.

Like a bad case of the clap I guess. Can’t get rid of it until that ***** swafford is long gone

The nostalgia factor is definitely gonna be missing with the ACC Network, especially if ESPN doesn't retain the talent

It’s gonna be very weird watching games on ACC Network instead of Raycom, especially Basketball games.
