ACC network still on course despite ESPN challenges
All signals are go for the ACC TV network to go live in 2019. That’s the word from John Swofford, commissioner of Atlantic Coast Conference, regarding the future of the network.
In a memo distributed Tuesday to ACC administrators, Swofford wrote:
“As you may have seen, some of the so-called ‘experts’ on social media, in light of ESPN’s recently announced layoffs, have questioned whether the ACC’s linear network will launch.
“I write to let you know that I have had multiple conversations with John Skipper, as recently as this morning, and have total confirmation that the ACC/ESPN linear network is full speed ahead and unaffected by the aforementioned events at ESPN.”
