ACCN should be on Comcast by January, possibly sooner.

The current Disney/Comcast contract ends at the end of this year, so when they finally sign a new contract the ACC Network will be included. Worst case scenario is ACCN doesn't appear on Comcast systems until January. I was hoping they would get things worked out before football season started, but Comcast and Disney do have a pretty adversarial relationship so it might go own to the last minute.

Comcast and ACC??? -- SAMMYNOLE 09/07/2021 9:20PM

It's been on Comcast a few weeks channel 1522 or 1322 i forgot -- Thumper 09/08/2021 9:19PM

1322, but I don’t believe it’s still in that channel slot. ** -- RJHokie 09/08/2021 9:33PM

December is the deadline for Comcast to keep Disney -- HOO86 09/07/2021 11:09PM

What do you estimate not having Comcast has cost the ACC a year? -- Stech 09/08/2021 06:58AM

Probably about $1 million to $1.5 million per year per team. -- HOO86 09/08/2021 08:47AM

Looking at their availability by state, roughly 25% is in the footprint -- daveinop 09/10/2021 08:07AM

Is it like this? -- dallasvt 09/08/2021 1:23PM

ACC gets higher $ per share in states with ACC member. -- HOO86 09/08/2021 1:32PM

That's the B1X Network model. ** -- EDGEMAN 09/08/2021 5:17PM

It's same for ACC, SEC, and PAC12 Networks too. ** -- HOO86 09/08/2021 5:24PM

The B1X model works. That's why everyone copied it. ** -- EDGEMAN 09/08/2021 5:31PM

Aren't they owned by NBC, ND's media partner? Hummmmmm... ** -- EDGEMAN 09/08/2021 12:00PM

NBC is owned by comcast and ACCN is a small piece of media rights -- Mercury 09/09/2021 2:00PM

Disney massively overpaid for Fox assets. -- tarheelblue 09/09/2021 3:13PM

Do you have that backwards..... -- 2hhoop3 09/08/2021 12:10PM

It appears they want to support ND, but not the ACC -- EDGEMAN 09/08/2021 1:17PM

Maybe it is.... -- 2hhoop3 09/08/2021 1:24PM

Their focus right now is getting Peacock rolled out. -- HOO86 09/08/2021 1:54PM

Yep, we are an accounting rounding error compared to the overall behemoth -- goldendomer 09/08/2021 1:45PM

Yes. Comcast owns NBC just like Disney owns ABC/ESPN. ** -- tarheelblue 09/08/2021 1:16PM

Sometimes there are delays and temporary extensions -- tarheelblue 09/07/2021 11:43PM
