Does anyone know if there are similar plans for an ACC Network?

1000 hours of HD content sounds pretty incredible. I'd be happy to give up the JP/Fox broadcasts for an inhouse network.

I'm sure some careful monitoring is in order.

Of course, Time-Warner probably wouldn't carry it anyway.

Looks like DirecTV will carry the channel as part of its basic Total Choice package. It may be a regional channel, but if not, the Duke-Northwestern game this fall now becomes a national TV game.

Agreed, it's not likely TWC would pick up the channel in NC for $1.10 per sub.

I meant that Time-Warner wouldn't carry an ACC network. Hopefully, that's not true. Consider it a sardonic comment on the absence of ESPNU, CSTV, Karmanos' Orioles network from my TVs.
