NBC is owned by comcast and ACCN is a small piece of media rights

This is battle with 2 major communication/entertainment giants COMCAST and DISNEY.

History: Comcast fought hard to get the FOX media/movie assets but Disney out paid them. Comcast has the largest cable network and one of the largest internet provider.

Disney has the content between Movies:TV including ABC and ESPN. Also, big player with DISNEY STREAMING and ESPN STREAMING (which offers to decouple from COMCAST cable).
Media companies need content and Disney/ESPN basically own college football and basketball.

Comcast in their profit model cannot afford to continue to raise rates to support higher broadest fees and ESPN/Disney feel they dont have choice and ESPN is basically pushing all or nothing.

It goes down to the end of the contract, and who blinks..... we as viewers are just bystanders.

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

ACCN should be on Comcast by January, possibly sooner. -- tarheelblue 09/07/2021 10:11PM

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

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
