Exactly my point. The windows will be limited...

ACCN will run four windows per Saturday. They will have a noon, 3:30, 7:30 and 10:30 PM slot. ACC after dark will feature a bunch of Cal and Stanford home games in the late window. My guess is if both are at home, then once may be on ESPN and the other on ACCN. The rest of the inventory will be sent over to the CW or will be placed in an ESPN or 2 or U noon window. The 3:30 window will run against the big SEC game of the week that will be full national on ABC or ESPN. The theory will be that the ACC gets 3:30 windows even if they are up against the big game in the SEC on the sister networks. This will really hit home if an undefeated or 1-loss Clemson comes to Lane Stadium against an undefeated or 1-loss Tech team and the game is relegated to a noon window on ACCN. It will happen and ESPN is likely to push the ACC to lousy windows to satisfy their cash cow at the SEC.

Beware of TV times this coming season

At some point. Do all the SEC games cannibalize each other's rating?
PadrosWindup • 06/12/24 08:26 AM ET
You have raised a key point in this discussion

Looks like my ESPN+ subscription will get a work-out this season**
VT ChemE 1986 • 06/12/24 10:21 AM ET
I don't think so, but they've really limited their coverage by going all in
reestuart • 06/12/24 08:52 AM ET
Disney does own other networks that it could put games on
mrcaniac • 06/12/24 02:26 PM ET
ESPN has four channels, plus the conference channels
EDGEMAN • 06/12/24 08:59 AM ET
They have a fifth. It's called ACCN. We will really know that ESPN favors
wwhokie1 • 06/12/24 09:01 AM ET
That's a conference channel, so I didn't list it.**
EDGEMAN • 06/12/24 09:05 AM ET
Forgive my ignorance / what times does that leave the poor acc?
AnotherTechW • 06/11/24 10:47 PM ET
think Thursday or Friday. Or maybe take over Tuesday. ACCtion night!!!**

Exactly my point. The windows will be limited... ◄

I have always loved the Ocho - hopefully we got on that too **

Is dodgeball a sport or a game?**
AnotherTechW • 06/12/24 03:00 PM ET
ESPN had a dozen PAC games in the late window. Those are gone now.
33laszlo99 • 06/11/24 07:48 PM ET
BYU as well. **
Big12 guy • 06/11/24 08:27 PM ET
Will the B1G still get as many ESPN-ABC games as usual?
Will StewartAdmin • 06/11/24 05:07 PM ET
Fox, CBS and NBC will have the B1G, but not ESPN. ACC will fill some of
Stech • 06/12/24 09:10 AM ET
They can’t. Premier B1G games heading to Fox and CBS.
hokieZ71 • 06/11/24 05:41 PM ET
ESPN no longer has Big 10 rights but does have Big XII rights**
CobbCountyHokie • 06/11/24 05:32 PM ET
No, ESPN does not have any Big10 games.
dayooper • 06/11/24 05:32 PM ET
The question will be...
EDGEMAN • 06/12/24 05:37 AM ET
Of course they will. **
reestuart • 06/12/24 08:52 AM ET
Yup
dayooper • 06/12/24 06:29 AM ET
That's what the ACCN and the CW are for!
Victor Tango • 06/11/24 02:18 PM ET
Yep. The ACC is going to get the squeeze as far as TV slots go.
reestuart • 06/11/24 01:45 PM ET
Those 10pm west coast kickoffs did some decent numbers.
hokieZ71 • 06/11/24 01:15 PM ET
The Big10 will have some games at that time.
dayooper • 06/11/24 11:01 PM ET
Big Ten already has several late Friday night games scheduled

I used to call that "The Hawaii Game".**
reestuart • 06/12/24 11:27 AM ET
Believe they just announced their tv times for the rest of the season..link**
VintonHokies • 06/11/24 01:11 PM ET
Sort of. Lots of "early", "night", and "flex" games.**
