Every Syracuse basketball game will be on TV.  The blackout problems with WatchESPN will go away now that the awful agreement with Raycom has expired.  As I mentioned in my post above, Spectrum is huge in NY, NC and central Florida.  These areas are filled with rabid ACC fans.  There will be intense pressure to carry the ACCN.

We know Spectrum enjoys a good relationship with ESPN.  Heck, they carry the SECN in New York,  I can’t see them not carrying the ACCN as well.

I don’t see a big increase in your cable bill either.  Spectrum knows ACCN is going to be available on Hulu, Sling, Playstation Vue, YouTube, DirectTV and Verizon Fios.  If Spectrum doesn’t carry ACCN, subscribers will just go elsewhere.  If they try and use this as a way to jack up fees, subscribers will just be given another incentive to cut the cord.  They have no choice.  They have to carry the ACCN.  The cost to them for adding this network might be $1.70 per month per subscriber.  That should be the type of increase you might expect, tops as a result of this.  There has been talk of ESPN adding the ACCN as a replacement for ESPNNews or ESPN Classic.  If they do that, the cost will be even less.  You should be good.
