I understand the logic and don't necessarily disagree with it

Although I do find it a little ironic that Xfinity includes ESPN and ESPN2 in its Digital Starter (70+ channels) package. From a competition standpoint, I don't see how ESPN could be viewed differently than any other competing sports network.

From the ACCN standpoint, I was basing the assumption that the ACC left ESPN and formed the network with NBC. Then I was looking at it from an exposure standpoint and what problems it could present the ACC if the ACCN isn't included in the basic packages.

For cable companies is because ESPN controls majority of the live -- VTHokie2000 07/06/2016 5:30PM
