I have a package that includes ESPN and Pac 12 but not the ACC. What are the chances that Comcast will add the ACC without having to upgrade? Maybe an email campaign would help?

Go Bears!

"CC Network (ACCN), the 24/7 national network dedicated to ACC sports, is officially now available nationally to Comcast's Xfinity customers. ACCN is available on Xfinity channel 1325 on Digital Starter in states within the ACC footprint and available in other Comcast markets on Digital Preferred."

for no apparent reason our comcast digital lineup includes #826 HD ACC and #824 HD SEC
muting more than 300 handles, turnaround is fair play

When we begin playing in the ACC (which I assume happens at the start of the football season) Northern CA will be considered part of the ACC footprint, so the original poster should be good.

We have ACCN on Comcast here in SR.

I get the ACC Network through Xfinity (Comcast) in Oakland.

Also, KRON (Channel 4) in San Francisco is now a CW affiliate. The CW shows ACC MBB doubleheaders on Saturdays.

I'm looking forward to sweeping Duke and NC, home and on the road with Tyson et al next season.

ACC Network is already on Xfinity if you have the sports tier. Question is about when it becomes part of the basic package in the Bay Area. Probably at football season.

Technically, I am in Larkfield behind where Cricklewood use to be before the Tubbs Fire, but to most people it is Santa Rosa. I switched to a lower cost plan in January when Comcast increased their rates. I was told my channels would be the same, but that was not true. I lost ACC and some others. I am hoping that I will get the ACC Network this summer when Cal is officially in the ACC based on the other poster's comment.

My sales tax rate is lower than Santa Rosa too, but it took several complaints on the last 2 cars I purchased in Richmond and Fairfield to get refunded on the incorrect sales tax charged.

That's exactly the right question. When does it go on the basic tier, and how big of a footprint is it on the basic tier in CA. Just because it shows up in the guide or people paying for premium tiers are getting the ACCN now, doesn't mean the conference is getting basic cable rates for those subs.

Cal and Furd join the ACC on July 1, and Comcast is paying for the P12 network until June 30. So that seems like a good date.

I'm curious if markets just outside the Bay Area (Sacramento and the rest of NorCal) will get the ACCN on basic cable - that would be a lot of extra revenue for the conference to split.

The ACC Network is available on YouTube TV. I recommend making the switch. With the multiview option it is the best way to watch CFB when Cal is not playing.

Comcast isn't going to add the ACCN to basic cable in the Bay Area until Cal actually joins the ACC. They are still paying for the p12 net at the moment.

yet we have that as well. You may have it but not have it programmed into your channel selection.

. If you have ESPN and the PAC 12 network then you should have the ACC network. The Comcast deal comes with all three in the Bay Area.

Here's what I pay:

$73 per month for YouTube TV. $84 during football season to get Red Zone and NFL Network ($73 comes with a slew of sports channels (see below).)

$61 per month for AT&T Fiber.

$8.62 per month for my regular iPhone ($7 per month plus taxes for 300 minutes, unlimited text, 1 GB data)
$7.60 per month for my backup iPhone ($6 per month plus taxes for 100 minutes, unlimited text, 1 GB data.)
$10.66 per month for my mom's iPhone ($9 per month plus taxes for unlimited minutes, unlimted text, 1 GB data)


(I carry my cheaper iPhone SE 2nd generation when I'm walking at night, so if I get robbed, it's no big deal.)

I get ESPN and Pac 12. I do not get ACC since I switched packages in January. I live in Sonoma County. I also lost ESPNU.

A 2nd iPhone is great for a BI sock account!

I have seen ads on CW channel (which looks like there will be some association with KRON 4) that it will be showing ACC games this Fall. (Which ones and how many has not been made clear)

ACC games are on:

1. Any ESPN channel (including ABC)
2. The CW (they have subcontracted some of ESPN's inventory)
3. ACC Network

CW had one ACC football game a week this year. In January and February they have had two ACC hoops games on Saturdays. Today they have an ACC doubleheader starting at 2:30 pm; other weeks they have had a doubleheader at 9 am.
