I believe the switch is away from Fox to ESPN so I don't think there's a need to be worried since ESPN loves showing Duke games.

No, Fox outbid ESPN for the ACC games, I believe, to start in 2011(?) season.

Fox is broadcasting times at 7:30 CST and some other odd channel at 8:00. How can that be if it is scheduled for 8:00 EST?

ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) have reached a 12-year agreement for exclusive rights to every conference-controlled football and men's basketball game, plus women's basketball and Olympic sports matchups, and conference championships. The agreement, which begins in 2011-12 and continues through 2022-23, was announced by George Bodenheimer, President, ESPN, Inc. and ABC Sports, and John Swofford, ACC Commissioner. It will result in approximately 4,800 ACC events over the 12 years on ESPN's television outlets, digital and mobile platforms, syndication and more.

Among the entities included are: ESPN, ESPN on ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3.com, the new ESPN 3D network, ESPN Mobile TV, ESPN GamePlan, ESPN FULL COURT, ESPN International, ESPN Deportes, ESPN Classic and ESPN.com. Numerous events will be produced in high definition across ESPN HD, ABC HD, ESPN2 HD and ESPNU HD.

Additionally, through a new sublicense arrangement with ESPN, Raycom Sports will continue its long-standing position as the syndication home of ACC content for over-the-air and regional cable network distribution in the ACC market and beyond. Raycom Sports will also continue to manage the ACC's official corporate partner program and the exploitation of its digital assets, including www.theACC.com, the official conference web site.

ESPN has been televising ACC content since the first year of the network in 1979-80. Highlights of the new agreement include:

Football on national TV: Regular-season action on Saturday afternoon and nights, primetime Thursdays, Labor Day Monday and the ACC Football Championship Game;
Men's basketball on national TV: The most games ever across the ESPN networks, highlighted by both regular-season matchups of the storied Duke-North Carolina rivalry each year; for the first time, full national telecasts on all games televised on an ESPN platform (had been local market blackouts on handful of telecasts); a new weekly Sunday franchise on ESPNU; every regular-season intra-conference game and the entire conference tournament produced and distributed via ESPN and Raycom Sports;
Women's basketball: A record number of women's regular-season basketball games and the addition of the entire conference tournament;
Olympic sports: An expanded commitment to the league's 22-sponsored Olympic sports with regular-season and championship telecasts, highlighted by baseball, softball, lacrosse, and men's and women's soccer;
Syndication: Syndication rights for ACC football, basketball and Olympic sports action for over-the-air and regional cable network distribution in ACC markets and beyond via an agreement with Raycom Sports and through potential sublicense agreements with other national outlets;
Digital media: Exclusive ACC football, men's and women's basketball, and Olympic sports games as well as simulcasts on ESPN3.com. Live ACC games, including football and basketball, on ESPN Mobile TV;
ESPN 3D: Live ACC action on ESPN 3D, ESPN's newest network and the first 3D network to launch in the industry;
Additional outlets: ACC action on ESPN International, ESPN GamePlan, ESPN FULL COURT, ESPN Classic and ESPN Deportes; and extensive content rights for ESPN.com.
"Some of ESPN's most memorable moments have featured the ACC and we're proud to extend our long-term relationship with this great conference and Raycom," Bodenheimer said.

ACC Commissioner John Swofford said, "We are excited to be continuing our partnership with ESPN and Raycom Sports. This agreement allows our schools to reach significantly new financial heights while also showcasing more ACC content and coverage than ever before across traditional and new media platforms."

"We are very excited to continue our 30 year partnership with the ACC and ESPN," said Ken Haines, President and CEO of Raycom Sports. "Throughout the ever-changing landscape of sports television, we have always prided ourselves on the long term relationships we have with both the ACC and ESPN."

Following are the key details of the new agreement:

Football

With exclusive rights to every conference-controlled football game, ESPN will serve as the national cable and broadcast TV home for the conference and distributor of syndication telecasts via an agreement with Raycom Sports. With the agreement granting rights to every matchup, there is flexibility where games can be distributed on a weekly basis throughout the season. Outlets will include:

ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC: The networks will televise ACC games each week, including Thursday, Saturday and a Labor Day Monday telecast each season. The ACC Football Championship Game will continue to be televised each year on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC.

ESPNU: The 24-hour college sports network, currently distributed in more than 70 million households, will continue to televise ACC football.

Syndication: ESPN will sublicense games to Raycom Sports and potentially to additional national outlets. As part of the agreement, Raycom Sports will produce and distribute a package of games for over-the-air syndication and for the first time, an additional package of games through regional cable syndication in the ACC markets and beyond.

ESPN3.com: Exclusive ACC game presentations as well as simulcasts will be offered on the broadband network.

ESPN 3D: ACC matchups will be part of the live schedule of games offered on the new service.

The deal also includes the continuation of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge event. Similar to football, as a result of the acquisition of exclusive men's basketball rights, there is flexibility where games can be distributed. Outlets will include:

ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU: The networks will combine to offer numerous intra-conference games, highlighted by top showdowns, including both Duke-North Carolina contests, plus several conference controlled inter-conference matchups with no blackouts (the previous agreement included select blackouts in the ACC market). Highlighting the schedule will be a new weekly ESPNU Sunday telecast and the continuation of ACC action on ESPN's Super Tuesday, Wednesday Night Hoops, Thursday Night Showcase and Saturdays. ESPN will also retain the rights to all ACC Tournament games for distribution across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU (with no blackouts).

Thanks for that info, but here is a better link to the story at GoDuke.com.

Thanks for the ESPN/FOX clarification. I feel much better now.

On Cablevision, up in northern NJ, it is actually going to be on the Guide channel. Bizarre.

[swood1000]

The fact that the Time Warner schedule shows Davidson at Western Carolina on Fox Atlantic tonight at the time of the Duke game appears even more curious when one considers the fact that Davidson played Western Carolina yesterday. What are the odds that they will add insult to injury and actually show that game?

[Blue in the Face]

MSG+2 is on Time Warner Cable (I think it's channel 198) in New York City.

Yup - I think they only use it when they actually have overflow programming and need the extra channel.

I'll venture to say 100%, although it doesn't appear to be malicious. As another poster noted above, in previous years, the FSN Sunday night ACC hoops series was almost always available on FSA. Not so this year, at least so far, for whatever reason(s).

I don't know. If showing a game that happened yesterday, instead of the Duke game, isn't malicious, what is it? Perhaps we assume that their awareness doesn't rise to the level of malice.

Errr... as of right now it is not listed on their schedule. I usually roll with www.channelsurfing.net , but they too do not have the game listed on their schedule. Unless it magically appears in the next few hours on either of those, I'll be looking for it on Justin TV or going to the watering hole. Unfortunately that watering hole will be in chapel hell. Sheesh

[fisheyes]

I just spent some time with the Cablevision folks here in CT. They say that the game will be on the MSG overflow channels at 8pm. They are channels 414 or 773 (High Def). We'll see...

I suggest that you scroll through your cable lineup on line and scan for the game. Good luck!!!

Go Duke!!!

[JonnyWonder]

At risk of hijacking the thread, anyone know of a good bar to watch the game in NW DC or Alexandria? I can think of a lot of places to watch the game against other opponents, but would rather not be amongst the Terrapin hordes tonight...

Cablevision in Connecticut will have it on 99 (the guide channel) but I'll check 773 as well. Thanks!

[TheDuckStore]

Game is on.

[ipatent]

Fios Philly area has it on TCN, channel 99.

[towerview road]

Anyone have any ideas? I'm helping out a major Duke fan/Duke mom in SW CT (NYC suburbs). She has Charter cable - can't find it anywhere. I can get it here on NESN, but anyone have any ideas/links to online feeds/etc??

Thanks

Here's a link to a stream. It's hosted by a UNC fan, but other than the annoying background it works.

[johnb]

I got to watch the last 1:26 on rcn in manhattan. I woulda gone to a sports bar, but my 8 month old seemed unenthused about the prospect. I'd have given up 3 elons for a Maryland. drats...

so if I were to start over, direct tv + tivo works better?
