Hat tip to SFN and I echo their thoughts: Did Raycom make a mistake releasing this before the ACC officially released the schedule? Anyway, for those of you in the Raycom broadcast area here are the UNC games:
WED Jan. 28 9:00 PM North Carolina at Florida State
TUE Feb. 3 8:00 PM Maryland at North Carolina
SAT Feb. 7 4:00 PM Virginia at North Carolina
WED Feb. 10 9:00 PM North Carolina at Duke
WED Feb. 18 8:00 PM (Split) NC State at North Carolina
The rest of the schedule is here. It is interesting that UNC only plays five times on Raycom which means the at least 10 of the Heels’ ACC games will either be on Fox Sports ACC Sunday Night or ESPN. The 2nd Duke game (in Chapel Hill this season) usually ends up on CBS or at least it has the past few times. The first Duke game in Cameron will also be on ESPN but Raycom picks it up locally.
Also note that if it says “Split” that means those of you in Maryland and Virginia will probably be stuck watching someone else. My condolences on that.

It looks like Raycom took that page down. Whoops, someone is getting fired.
The PDF is still there though. ACC Now has the info so I imagine someone is in a pickle.
It doesn’t matter so much to me which network carries the games, I get all the stations and Woody tells me what I need to know ;>)
I wish my local affiliate carried Raycom/JP’s ACC games. I am stuck with SEC in my region because of all the UK fans. Also, folks in WV generally despise the ACC.
Maybe folks in W.V. hate ALL of the ACC because of the “fun” UVA fans have with West Virginnia . . . just saying.
Being in Tampa, I think the cable companies decide on a daily basis whether or not we’re in an ACC market or not. Take last year’s ACC Tournament for example:
Growing up in Raleigh, I KNEW that every game of the Tournament was on Raycom. Period. Well, in Florida ESPN had Thursday and Friday’s games, so I presumed that the entire tournament was on the Worldwide Leader. Being that I had plans on Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 5, figured I’d set the trusty DVR to record our game on ESPN2 (should’ve known right there that something was amiss) and I’d be set. Turns out that the locals decided that we’d be an ACC market for the weekend games. I get home, click play on the DVR, and see black screen for the next five minutes before realizing what happened. Yep, missed the Va Tech game. NOT happy about that. Definitely caught the Finals on Raycom, but it stunk having to learn a TV lesson that way…
I am pretty sure West Virginia’s hate the ACC because it raided the Big East of football teams, and the manner in which the raid was conducted.
