ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) announced its 2012 men’s college basketball regular-season schedule for ESPN and ESPN3.com. ESPN and the ACC are beginning a new 12-year agreement for exclusive rights to every conference game. As part of the deal, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3.com will combine to offer the most games ever across the ESPN networks. Highlights:
Full national telecasts on all games televised on an ESPN platform (had been local market blackouts on handful of telecasts), including of both regular-season matchups of the storied Duke-North Carolina rivalry each year; The new weekly ACC Sunday Night Basketball franchise on ESPNU; The continuation of ACC action on ESPN’s Super Tuesday, Wednesday Night Hoops, Thursday Night Showcase and Saturdays; The rights to every ACC Tournament game for distribution across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU (with no blackouts).
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. As a result, every regular-season intra-conference game and the entire conference tournament will be produced and distributed via ESPN and Raycom Sports.
