Having ACC Network tied to ABC and Disney Channel looking kind of good now.
Comcast, and other cable providers, might not be as eager to lose families with children by dropping Disney to avoid carrying the ACC Network. Our fortunes are tied to the success of The Walt Disney Company negotiators.
I feel much more confident in Disney's leverage than in having John Swofford, Larry Scott, or Jim Delany out trying to get coverage. The BTN at least has some help with Fox, but the Murdochs have been on a fire sale, and have sold off as much as they could to Disney before hitting anti-trust territory. I'd imagine they will sell the rest to someone else. BTN might try to get picked up by Amazon or some other new distribution option.
