What's this?

I agree with that, but I know a lot of people that do.

Example: With verizon, you get 6 or 7 free NFL games a week, but you can only watch on your phone.

I've known a ton of people under 30 that will watch that way.

ESPN planning web-based offering with niche sports and some college -- Colonel Jessup 07/08/2016 3:21PM

So basically the ACC is going to get a "ESPN 3" type of channel? -- EDGEMAN 07/09/2016 9:14PM

Columbus indicated it will be multiple platforms -- ahokie4u 07/10/2016 09:30AM

Correct. The ACC's "network" will amount to streaming via espn3. ** -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 11:10PM

And my internet provider does not allow ESPN3- -- KnoxHokie 07/10/2016 4:21PM

If you go after a niche market don't you get niche-like profits? -- Hokie Dale 07/08/2016 7:57PM

For the most part yes ** -- nebraskafaninwi 07/09/2016 10:18AM

Smartphones and apps were once a niche market. Be patient -- ColumbusHokie 07/09/2016 12:55AM

The ACC is in a good spot? -- 33laszlo99 07/09/2016 6:28PM

Yes, the ACC is in a good spot. The channel we make us more money and -- ColumbusHokie 07/09/2016 8:55PM

Is it $ or $$$$...that is the key. Anything less than comparable... -- tcc_dc 07/10/2016 5:42PM

Except there is no way in Hades, I'll watch a sport on a phone. -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 2:19PM

If you hold your phone close enough to your face it will completely block -- hokieball 07/10/2016 7:56PM

I agree with that, but I know a lot of people that do. -- Hokies23 07/09/2016 5:31PM

Many apps are available on Roku. I use WatchESPN through Roku on my TV. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 07/09/2016 4:40PM

True. I use watch ESPN app on roku -- ahokie4u 07/10/2016 08:55AM

Phones are world wide, not a niche market -- nebraskafaninwi 07/09/2016 2:15PM

Now that I'm using Sony Playstation Vue, I'd like to see it there. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 3:49PM

It was also just offered as a channel on roku. -- ahokie4u 07/08/2016 7:16PM

I chose Sony Playstation Vue because it has all three news networks. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 8:56PM

And how much does Sony Playstation Vue cost? -- Atlee Hokie 07/09/2016 2:24PM

It has different bundles just like cable does. -- HOO86 07/09/2016 3:55PM

I just added vue on roku -- ahokie4u 07/08/2016 9:50PM

I've got 2 televisions going. I've had no issues with it. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 10:00PM

It is working now -- ahokie4u 07/09/2016 08:02AM

Very Good! I can see an ACC Network on this very easily. -- HOO86 07/09/2016 10:58AM

Do you need a PS4 for Vue? -- Lead Dog 07/08/2016 9:09PM

No. Just Roku. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 9:37PM

I will take a look thank you. ** -- Lead Dog 07/09/2016 12:34PM

The only potential drawback I see using the WatchESPN model -- VTHokie2000 07/08/2016 3:58PM

Chromecast works well with ESPN 3 -- TerryD 07/09/2016 11:12PM

No monthly fee with Chromecast** -- Genegantslet 07/10/2016 08:10AM

Roku, AppleTV, Slingbox, etc. replace the Xfinity Box and still use the TV. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 8:43PM

I would love to cut the cord, but I need my sports. ** -- Lead Dog 07/08/2016 9:12PM

That's the point, you can still cut the cord and keep your sports. -- Hokies23 07/09/2016 1:25PM

Look at the Playstation Vue channel lineup. -- HOO86 07/08/2016 9:44PM
