There are enough carriers signed up already that ESPN can leverage the rest to get near universal carriage, much like the SECN launch.

No YouTubeTV yet....

They need Spectrum, Comcast, Cox, and Dish. Getting DirecTV was a good pickup as was these streaming providers. That gives them a place to send people whose current carrier does not have it

Come July if YouTubeTV doesn't have it they're getting dropped like it's hot.

That’s pretty cool and very forward thinking

Good job ACC

I know time flies like a fruit, or however that goes, but I grew up watching ACC basketball on the local RAYCOM/Jefferson-Pilot affiliate and I'm going to miss the piss out of it (yeah, they'll have a hand in running the ACC Network and producing games, but watching Pitt-Miami on my phone isn't the same as turning my TV to some independent UHF station and settling in to watch Dan Bonner and Tim Brandt or Terry Gannon and whoever call a doubleheader of Clemson-Wake Forest and Virginia-N.C. State).

You don't get Hulu on your TV?

You don't have a computer screen bigger than a cell phone?

Driving in this morning I saw one of those video billboards that can change that was an ACC Network ad telling people to call Spectrum and tell them they want them to pick it up.

I do and I do in that order, but the point was to wax nostalgic about the time when, for a young man in the South, Raycom/JP on the local UHF channel was an integral part of keeping tab on the ACC.

If and when that last Blockbuster closes, I'll pour a virtual 40 out for that too even though I haven't seen the inside of a video store in years for reasons other than to marvel that they still exist.

^This^

I'll give them till Labor Day Weekend though. I'm driving to the home opener.

Google Fiber signed on...so I think it is only a matter of time. YoutubeTV is getting lots of college fans though

Lots of naysayers in the past...it looks like the ACC Channel will roll out and meet the predictions of the ACC leadership.

They offer the best basketball league, great Olympic sports and football is growing into a Top 3 league. Notre Dame is the cherry on the top.

Going all in with the Mouse is beneficial to getting the providers to say yes.

Hear that. Really would be surprised if Youtubetv doesn't add it. They are the best value for Sports Channels.

It no doubt helps to have ESPN as a partner.
