Will ESPN Cost Cutting Kill the ACC Network?


The Syracuse AD says "Not at All". Another ESPN expert who wrote a book thinks it will only be digital.

Most of the folks laid off at ESPN were their reporters rather than production people and game announcers. It looks to me that they are going to reduce their coverage of sports news and that the ESPN News Channel would be in jeopardy. The ACC Channel would be more a revenue generator than a cost particularly if the schools are covering a lot of the cost.

But there have been so many over the past 5 years harping about the ACC Network not happening, why would they stop now? All I know is that I'm watching ACC Network Extra often and it looks real to me. I expect the channel will be too.
