ACC Network Directv
Any info on whether the ACC Net will be on Directv next year? I get some of it on channels 788-795 now, but will it have a constant channel like 610 for Big 10 and 611 for SEC?

Not yet, but the major SEC Network deals didn't fall in place until much closer to launch:

March 3: Dish Network
July 18: Comcast
July 24: Time Warner (now Charter)
August 4: DirecTV (10 days before launch)

I'd expect the ACC Network to schedule a blockbuster game for Labor Day weekend. There will be some delays by a few providers haggling over price...and some won't get service until a few weeks into the season.

I think they will have several....which is why I think the ACC Network will affect ESPN inventory levels some (but not a whole lot). Basically, I think they will just thow a few nice games on there to make it more attractive (and that may just be a temporary thing that they do for a few years).

RE: ACC Network Directv
I cancelled Direct TV to go with Hulu Live (160 a month to 40 a month) It took me like three Hours and my excuse was Direct TV was not going to carry the ACCN.... They switch me to like 5 different Reps who said they will carry it when it launches..... As a Hulu customer they have also told me they will carry ACCN as I am trying to switch to Nitro... Has anyone heard of Nitro?? ( https://nitrotvservice.com/) for $16 bucks a month you get every sports channel known to man.... Is this legit??

The five major V-MVPD services (PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now, Sling TV, YouTube TV and Hulu Live) have all reached agreements to carry the ACC Network at launch. https://www.syracuse.com/axeman/index.ss...aunch.html

With regard to Hulu Live, Disney will be majority owner by launch date, so that was never in question.

Not sure about Nitro. That looks a little sketchy.

Youtube TV still my favorite streaming option! I think ACC Network will not be the failure many hope. I do think it will be successful just not Big Ten and SEC level.

Here's a kind of summary/status article on ACC Football Rx which pulls together bits of information from various sources:

https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2018/...81418.html

Looks like about 10 million subscribers already in the bag, with another 25 million almost certain before launch - that adds up to 35 million. The big fish is Comcast, with 25 million alone, but NOT up for ESPN contract renewal. ACC fans may have to apply pressure and/or threaten to switch (and/or actually switch, at least temporarily) to get the ACC Network on Comcast.
