I had both Raycom and ESPN - I chose to watch Raycom, but if it hadn't been there I would've watched ESPN. No biggie.
The ACC Network package of Atlantic Coast Conference football games syndicated by Raycom Sports will be available to nearly 80% of the United States this fall, covering over 90 million TV Households. This includes all Top Ten TV markets in the U.S., and 21 of the Top 25. Only ESPN and ESPN2 reach more households, among all sports networks.
Specifically, 90,822,490 U.S. households, representing 78.4% of the U.S., will receive the ACC Network.
said Ken Haines, president & CEO of Raycom Sports: “This broad exposure for ACC football and basketball games provides the ACC with the most over-the-air broadcast coverage of any conference in the nation."
