Where am I going to watch the Tour De France at 8 in the morning on the weekend when I’m hung over? Lol in all seriousness they’ll probably move over all of their sports programming to Peacock or one of the other 50 channels they own
The makers of the Ultimate Irish Peeler sure hope soNBC Sports Network to shut down by the end of the year

Blake James is the definition of incompetence falling upward and he can’t leave soon enough. However, the ACCN falls on exactly one person’s shoulders - John Swofford.Bash the results of the football team all you want, but right now the biggest failure of Blake James is my inability to watch a Hurricanes football game live without spending another $60 a month because the ACCN is absolutely ridiculous. Every game on ACCN should be at least be available pay-per-view at a reasonable rate.
I suspect Blakey Wakey has input to ACCN decisions, but doubt he has compelling authority.Bash the results of the football team all you want, but right now the biggest failure of Blake James is my inability to watch a Hurricanes football game live without spending another $60 a month because the ACCN is absolutely ridiculous.

Keep spending that $60 a month. Since there are only 4 time slots open on a Saturday, they can only cover 8 teams. Another thing to consider is that ESPN probably has 1st choice on which games they are going to cover, which means ACCN gets the leftovers. As things are going now, they can't cover all of the live sporting events from the 16 schools in the conference. App State might make the TV schedule, but Central Conn. State won't.Blake James is the definition of incompetence falling upward and he can’t leave soon enough. However, the ACCN falls on exactly one person’s shoulders - John Swofford.
Because that doesn't ?Other than premier league, NBC SPORTS programing sucks.
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. The issue isn’t content. The issue is that over a year in, people with Comcast and some other large carriers don’t have the option, even if they would be willing to pay extra per month. If you’re talking about cutting the cord, we’re not there yet and clearly many other houses are not either. It was an unmitigated disaster by Swofford.Keep spending that $60 a month.

Lol you wish ...I see all sports channels going this way. Then salaries. Say good bye to 100 million dollar players. If I’m correct next year is the first year the salary cap in nfl is going down.
Time will tell. 200,000,000 people paying for sports channels that don’t watch it.Lol you wish ...
NFL contract is not forever
The NFL can easily pull away from Direct TV and make 10X as much
Or they'll just charge the same rate while not replacing. Hulu got rid of Fox Sports SFL right after raising prices, now I can't watch the Heat... switching over to AT&T TV as a result, but still obnoxious.USA.
But, seriously, this opens up a spot on the dial.
Maybe you're right, but the salary cap going down probably has more to do with empty stadiums than anything elseI see all sports channels going this way. Then salaries. Say good bye to 100 million dollar players. If I’m correct next year is the first year the salary cap in nfl is going down.
