What is the goal of the ACC Network?
May 10, 2019, 10:45 AM

Is it to get Ratings (like most other TV Networks)? Or is it a supplemental channel for ESPN since they have a contract with the league to broadcast every ACC Football game and simply need more time slots (like the SEC Network)?
If the goal is to get ratings, Clemson should have a standing spot in the 7:30 Primetime game every week. What are they going to do - show Appalachian State @ North Carolina? Wake Forest at Boston College? Run promos during the week on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU for Pittsburgh @ Duke on Saturday Night in Durham? That would be like NBC every other week replacing a Wednesday Night 9 PM show like This Is Us with infomercials.

No way. Clemson will kick it off with the first game to generate excitement. But then we should be on ABC and ESPN the rest of the way. More possible viewers there than the ACC Network.
Remember, the “third-tier” rights are moving from Raycom to the ACC/ESPN network. Do you think Clemson football is a “third-tier” property?

If the ACC has any say over the scheduling then Clemson should not be on the ACC Network every Saturday.
The ACC Network will not likely be broadcast nationwide on all service providers (at least in the first year). The ACC should want Clemson to be seen by as many viewers across the country as possible.
That means putting Clemson on ESPN and ABC to get the most eyes on the tv. Channel is way more important than time slot in terms of getting people to watch.
What I'm hoping is that the ACC Network will eventually add an extra afternoon and night time slot that is shown nationwide for Clemson to have as an option to avoid the home nooners.

Will the ACC Network even be widely available in other parts of the country?

I have always thought that espn wanted an ACC network primarily to hype ACC basketball much the same as they hype SEC football.

I guess the goal
May 10, 2019, 1:18 PM

Of the new network is to ride the coattails of Clemson in football and the coattails of Duke and UNC In basketball to make as much money as they can. Remember this.... our Tigers get a cut from every event covered so I am not hoping that the networks fails. Quite the contrary actually. Go Tigers. Beat everybody!

Basically to mirror the SEC Network

The major games will still be on the national networks but for Clemson’s purposes you might get more of the Wofford/UNCC-type OOC games in that evening time slot instead of the 12:30.
But in football it will primarily hold a lot of the games that are currently on Raycom

It was created for one reason: to return Clemson home games to their rightful place of kicking off at 1 pm. Oh and money. Lots and lots of money. Right up until broadcast rights fees for sports start their inevitable collapse and leave every D1 school looking like one of these 3rd world countries that bid billions to host the Olympics and ends up saddled with debt and abandoned venues.

The rights money isn’t going away

Terrible bastardization of the cord cutting argument. There will still be plenty of rights money to go around you just have to get it other ways. The next step will be an a la carte subscription package where you can just subscribe to ESPN directly without a cable provider and pay for the leagues you want or have different levels that you can pay for.

I’m talking more about the declining attendance at all schools not in the Top 10. When a generation stops going to the games live it trickles into the viewership numbers. It’s a downward spiral. Couple that with the desire to expand the playoff and money will eventually ruin the sport. You have a bunch of tinkerers trying to milk every last dollar from everybody and soon the fans just walk away. Ask NASCAR.
