Thanks for the correction on Seattle. ROOT used to have several regional networks, but all the others are now AT&T SportsNet.

I find it interesting that SportsTime Ohio is choosing to broadcast Pin Shot - Medina Country Club over the second ACC game, however maybe the golf contract trumps the 1 ACC game.

As far as YES dropping the second ACC game it is due to the New York City Football Club playing at New England at 430PM on the 19th!

Just for reference, these are the official affiliate announcements from the ACC.

Interesting. MASN not shown. Checked the MASN website and they don't have the game listed either. Mattsarzsports.com usually has this right. Last year NBC Sports Washington had the ACC package, but it's not on their schedule either. That represents a pretty big coverage hole in the middle of the ACC footprint. MASN ought to be a good fit to pick up the ACC, particularly the basketball package as they have no winter pro sports rights.

FWIW in 2019 they did not air any ACC football... The link below shows that they showed James Madision & Richmond

FWIW, Mattsarzsports.com has now removed MASN from its list of networks carrying the BC-Duke game.

Although no linear channel is carrying the game in DC-MD-VA markets, and likely other RSN package games, it will be available in those markets on a streaming basis via ESPN3.

Georgia Tech-Syracuse will be picked up by MASN this week. Maybe the ACC games will be shown there more once MLB season ends.

Pretty different list for the evening game.

The thing I find humorous about the GT/Syracuse game is that the local RSN, the YES Network, won't be carrying the game live...

YES Network - LIVE on FOX Sports GO // Delay Broadcast 12am

So locals either have to watch the game on Fox Sports Go (streaming) or catch it at midnight...

Syracuse has been told the blackout has been released...

Yankees have a 1 pm game on Saturday. According to Mattsarzsports.com, the game will be available on Fox Sports Go in the YES viewing area. They need an overflow channel.

Fans could always watch it on Fox Sports Go app... All the release means is that they can watch it on ESPN3 if they do not want to use Fox Sports Go App....BTW both of require online sign-in info from a cable, IPTV or satellite provider.

As someone who streams everything, being on the Fox Sports Go app or ESPN app is fine. Both have apps for Apple TV, so it wouldn't affect me at all. However, it does limit the ability of folks to see the game who haven't made the transition, or depend on a smart TV for their streaming that lacks these apps. It's just unfortunate for SU fans that depend on YES.

Odd that this game is at noon and the BC game - also on RSNs - is at 6 PM. With the Red Sox playing at 7:30 pm you'd think it would make sense to flip the time slots for those two games, wouldn't it? I mean, these guys get paid a lot more than me, but...

It would.

In Boston, though, NESN has a NESN+ channel that will show the BC game on linear cable and satellite services. NESN+ actually carries quite a few games from the ACC RSN package. Similarly, in Atlanta, there are two affiliated RSN channels, Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast. FSSO is carrying the same Red Sox-Braves game with FSSE carrying BC-Texas State. YES has no sister or overflow channel, which makes it a weaker affiliate for the ACC RSN package.
