How will ACCN+ on WatchESPN work from a revenue standpoint?

I assume ESPN charges cable/sat providers some nominal fee for their subscribers to have access to ESPN3 via WatchESPN, will this be the same for ACC+? even if it's just a nickel a month, there are, what, 90Million ESPN subscribers out there? that would be $54M/year in new revenue ($27M for the ACC in a 50/50 split). I can't imagine ESPN is just going to give all that content away, are they?

If all this is true,did Maryland make a mistake -- 133175Hokie 07/19/2016 1:37PM

Maryland will rust with the rest of that league. Don't want them back. ** -- HOO86 07/19/2016 2:37PM

It's not $45/team. And no MD didn't make a mistake. ** -- Gator Hokie 07/19/2016 2:22PM

Would be nice to get OTT and 45M late fee, but I'm doubtful. -- benthokie 07/19/2016 12:52PM

Me too. I have to think any OTT profit will pay down the -- dallasvt 07/19/2016 2:18PM

For $10/month, that OTT option better have some good content -- Hokie Bird 07/19/2016 12:26PM

If you put old ACC games on there from previous Seasons -- hokieninsurance 07/19/2016 12:33PM

What are your thoughts about the extension to the GoR? ** -- VTHokie2000 07/19/2016 12:10PM

I think this was required as "insurance" to ESPN -- CobbCountyHokie 07/19/2016 12:23PM

True, but doesn't that put the ACC schools at risk for falling -- VTHokie2000 07/19/2016 12:30PM

May be time to buy a Smart TV. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 07/19/2016 11:56AM

Samsung "smart" TVs are pretty stupid. -- EDGEMAN 07/20/2016 10:48AM

Just get a Roku. Way cheaper and much better interface. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 07/19/2016 12:59PM

Even better is the Roku TV, I have a 4K one & it is awesome ** -- BROman Hokie 07/19/2016 1:50PM
