ACC Network Affiliates 2018 - final broadcast ever: NC State at UNC

Once more, here's the post for ACC Network affiliates, which will be updated weekly. (And most likely, this is the final year we have to do this.)

"ACC Network" refers to the Raycom broadcast that is syndicate to many local TV affiliates. Not to be confused with the cable channel that will be started by ESPN next season. Also, not to be confused with "ACC Network Extra", which is just a ESPN3 online-only broadcast with the fancy logo seen below.

Apparently in some part of the world, these games are made available on WatchESPN. Based on how many people I see bitching about a blackout, I haven't figured out exactly where, other than Guam (which someone confirmed last year). However, they do stream on the ACC website and app, and I have never seen a blackout through those means.

Games still kickoff at 12:20 PM, following the ACC Blitz pregame show that absolutely no one cares about. Week 2 has a 7:20 PM kickoff for an FSU game (provided that the weather doesn't cancel it like last year). Week 10 has a double header with games at 12:15 and 3:45. (Likely to make up for the lack of a game in week 3.)

Occasionally, Raycom will broadcast two games at the same time. Affiliates are split. Or sometimes, they actually broadcast two games, as we have discovered for the VT game on November 3.

In a total #goacc move, it's a week before the season starts, and the ACC website still doesn't have official affiliate links posted. But Wikipedia has a generic affiliate list, which is generally accurate week-to-week.

Week 1: Furman at Clemson
Week 2: Samford at FSU - 7:20 PM
Week 3: ECU at VT
Week 4: Pitt at UNC
Week 5: UVA at NC State
Week 6: Syracuse at Pitt
Week 7: Duke at GT
Week 8: UNC at Syracuse
Week 9: UNC at UVA
Week 10: GT at UNC (12:15) and BC at VT (3:45)
Week 11: UNC at Duke
Week 12: NC State at Louisville
Week 13: NC State at UNC

In the past, these have been the main affiliates across Virginia. I expect them to remain mostly the same:

Blacksburg: WWCW (the CW part of 21/27)
DC: WDCA 20
Richmond: CW
757: WGNT (CW)
Hooville: NBC 29

Occassionally, WBDJ will pick up the ACC Network game in the Roanoke area. That seems to be mainly when the broadcast wouldn't interfere with their CBS programming, and especially if VT is playing.

RSN games

"RSN" literally stands for Regional Sports Network on your cable system. In most areas, it's the Fox Sports Net channel (mostly since Fox is producing the games on a sublicense from ESPN). But since there is no regional Fox Sports in Virginia, NBC Sports Washington (formerly CSN Mid-Atlantic) picks up the games.

"RSN" games are not "ACC Network" games. They appear with the ACC Network Extra logo on ESPN, but for the same reason that the Raycom-produced games do. Unless otherwise noted, kickoff times for RSN games are 12:30 PM.

Week 1: Alcorn State at GT - 12:30 PM
Week 2: Georgia State at NC State - 12:30 PM
Week 3: GT at Pitt (12:30 PM) & Western KY at Louisville (7:30 PM)
Week 4: Louisville at UVA
Week 5: Bowling Green at GT (noon) & Rice at WF (3:30)
Week 6: BC at NC State
Week 7: Louisville at BC
Week 8: UVA at Duke
Week 9: WF at Louisville (noon) and Duke at Pitt (3:30)
Week 10: Syracuse at WF (noon)
Week 11: Liberty at UVA (3:00)
Week 12: Pitt at WF (noon), UVA at GT (3:30)
Week 13: WF at Duke

For any specific RSN affiliate lists past this point of the season, check the ACC on RSN page. But in most cases, it's mostly the same. If you get a regional Fox Sports channel, it's on there. If you don't, look for AT&T Sportsnet, NESN, YES, or NBC Sports Washington (formerly CSN).

The RSN games are also supposedly streaming on WatchESPN, but I've seen them blacked out just as much as the Raycom productions. The games might be available on the Fox Sports Go app if you are in a market that has the game being broadcast on the Fox Sports regional channel.

Most of the links and information is coming via the ACC schedule page.
