When the linear channel goes live, the ACC network Extra channel is going to be rebranded. And unlike last year where if you had ESPN in your cable package you could stream ACC Extra, your provider has to now carry the ACC linear network channel in order to stream.

This will put more pressure on the providers to carry IMO. Or else if you have cable, and your provider doesn't carry it, you are SOL.

I'm giving Spectrum until 8/17 to get the ACCN announced, or I am switching to Hulu Live.

Enough of this sh*t.

I can assure you that there will be no major deals before 8/17. This stuff literally goes to the midnight hour. Like, literally. I would expect a bunch of deals on 8/21, 8/22, and 8/29 (date of Clemson/GT).

Some of these, including Spectrum may go up to the last minute. But there are definitely other options.

For me, I'm going to hold off until Game 2 because youth sports prevent me from attending. I'm going to the UVa game so I dont need it for that. And, if the replays are free on ESPN3, I might shut my phone off until 3:00 or 3:30 and watch the replay. I have to miss part of the game anyway. So, I may not really need the network until October so I'm not sweating it.

Will we still have the ACCN streaming on Comcast? Or do I lose all the Pitt games with the new ACC Network? Also, do you know if Comcast will have the ACC channel?

If Comcast does not have the ACCN linear channel, you won't be able to stream the ACCN anymore as your provider must carry the linear channel. That's based on the announcement I linked in the OP.

So you either need to put pressure on Comcast, or switch your carrier/pick up Hulu or something that carries the ACCN if you want to watch.

I don't know if they have it yet? When does it go online? They had the ACC Extra streaming up until now.

Linear channel goes live August 22nd. I'm assuming that's when the ACC Extra goes to ACCX. Comcast does not have it yet. These things come to the 11th hour, and sometimes past that.

YouTube tv will carry the network. Just announced.

I think that is good then. Then I should have access.
