    Good deal for everyone? Seems like the viewer comes out pretty good in it.

    The deal even opens up markets outside of the ACC footprint for the syndication package games. More games available to more viewers in more markets. Only concern I can see for viewers is that some games may be ESPN3 only, which does limit it somewhat.

    Yep, it's the rebranded ESPN360 platform. ESPN is planning on using it more and more. It will be also be available on XBOX 360 in November but only if your ISP is a partner and TWC RoadRunner currently isn't

    I worked for TWC up until 2000. I've been a DirecTV customer since '98. :yinyang:

    I read in the details that Raycom may no longer be the local option for the ACC Basketball Tournament...it will all be on ESPN (even in the ACC markets.)


    Also...the Sunday Night Hoops series that FSN started will be switched over to ESPN-U. The plan with that is to use the ACC as the marquee game in a new branding of Sunday college hoops on ESPN-U.

    Isn't ESPNU only available on the digital tier on Time Warner? Wonder if that will change around here?
