They didn't fight that hard for the ACCN distribution

Not if you compared it to the SECN, which they had every provider on board months before it's launch. Not only did ESPN NOT bring the ACCN on board at the same time as the SECN, they seemed to "slow roll" getting cable providers on board. It took Comcast several years to add the ACCN, and there were others that trickled in after the launch. Disgusting!

Informative link. ACCN doing quite well, bad deal to give 50% to ESPN**

It helped make Disney fight hard to get the distribution.

The ACC knew it would take 3 years to get the distribution
