Is the ACC Network treading water?
Oct 28, 2019, 11:27 AM
|

There is no way the channel is making money only selling advertising space to infomercials. Laser tag? ####### pillow no one wants? I just don't see how the channel is going to last unless the ACC is fine with taking a monetary loss. Hopefully they make most of their revenue during basketball season

Calm down this is the first year. Sec has had 5 years to figure itself out. You’ll have to give it some time before ACC network evolved enough to suit the viewers tastes and interests.
I do wish we had some more trash talking on the network, but you have to have fans in order to get that, and I just feel like the majority of ACC fans don’t care.
The timing is really bad as well. ACC network came on line when only one football program was decent. Clemson is keeping them afloat currently. We are in serious need of at least 2 more elite teams right now, it will generate more fan interest, phone calls, watchers and the national media will start paying more attention before late November.

They are getting money from a lot of TV providers.

Advertising revenue is only a small part of their revenue. And by the looks of it, they are filling their air time. That's great at this point.
This is in contrast to games I've watched on WatchESPN, where all of the ad slots aren't filled and it just has the ESPN logo with music playing to fill the time.

That's not unsold ESPN inventory you're seeing

We (networks like ESPN, or iHeartMedia where I work) don't cover local or regional commercial time.
The ESPN logo you're seeing during a break is because of the 22 minutes of commercials in a single hour, some of that commercial time is local or regional content. It's the spot where only those local commercials would air. You obviously won't see those on the Network/National feed. So they go to a slate (the espn logo you see) during the time that's allocated for local and regional commercials. And if you're watching online or through a streaming service like Hulu, YouTube, XBox, etc, you won't see local ads... only the espn slate. Only cable companies run the loca/regional ads. Not streaming services. But that too is coming soon.... so the slate will go away a that time.
Also, until ratings come in, ACCN will continue to run PI (per inquiry) ads. Those cheap "as seen on TV" type ads.

Thanks for the explanation. Can you have them switch up the music? By 5 games into the season I want to shove an ice pick down my ear.

^^ This ^^
When flipping through non-Clemson games, I avoid games that have that music loop playing. I wish they would at least change up the music, or heck, infomercials would be better. Just show live feeds of the game with no audio, crowd, players in the huddle, or anything.

The network is holding the quality commercials...

for basketball season.
When Duke and/or UNCheat are playing you'll see plenty of commercials for national brands like Vagisil, Tampax, Summers Eve, Fleet and Preparation H

Is the ACC paid according to viewers and advertising or is the profit or loss on ESPN?

Honestly this season, outside of Clemson, it must be very tough to have a narrative to chase in the ACC this time of year

The commercial space Saturday night was pretty bad

Best football team in the ACC is playing and it looked like I was watching commercials that should be on the hallmark channel at 4AM.

Let me answer this as a Broadcaster....
Oct 28, 2019, 11:53 AM

Here at iHeartRadio, we have a free service WITH commercials, and a paid subscriptions w/o commercials. The paid channels help us provide the free service. Same thing in Broadcast TV. Since ESPN owns ACCN, they can use the $$ from the parent company to get the new Network off the ground.
Until the first few rating periods are completed, they take what they can get. All ad sale are based on ratings, so until they get some, we'll likely see a heavy dose of these PI spots (Per Inquiry.)
I agree the redundancy of them is annoying, but I'd expect that to change over time.

It's a really bad time for an upstart TV network. Especially sports.

People are cord cutting at a rapid rate. Most under 30 have never paid for cable. You can go on platforms like sportssurge.net. and watch every single game for free.
