The ACC Network (unofficially known as the ACC Network by Raycom Sports) is an ''ad hoc'' television network featuring live broadcasts of college football and basketball events from the Atlantic Coast Conference. It is an exclusive presentation of its owner and operator, Raycom Sports, the sports syndication unit of Montgomery, Alabama-based Raycom Media. The network itself is based at Raycom Sports headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. ACC Network broadcast games are shown locally on over-the-air broadcast stations, regional sports networks, as well as on online streaming service ESPN3 and the WatchESPN application on mobile devices. The syndicated network is produced in a partnership between Raycom and ESPN.〔Press Release (July 1, 2014). "(ACC Network Has Expanded National Reach )" Raycom Sports. Retrieved February 2, 2015.〕 ==History== (詳細はACC men's basketball had been broadcast by Raycom/JP Sports, a joint venture of Raycom Sports and Jefferson-Pilot Teleproductions, since the 1982-1983 basketball season. The roots of the current package date to 1957, when Greensboro businessman C.D. Chesley hastily assembled a five-station network to broadcast North Carolina's appearance in that year's Final Four. The Tar Heels went on to win the national championship, and Chesley expanded to a full-season package for the 1957-58 season. Chelsey retained the rights until 1981, and then Baltimore-based Metrosports had the ACC rights just for the 1981-82 season. The first ACC basketball telecast by Raycom/JP Sports was an early-season game between the Virginia Cavaliers and the Duke Blue Devils on the night of December 8, 1982 at 9 p.m. E.T.〔(2007 ACC Tournament Official Program ), page 24.〕 Jefferson-Pilot Teleproductions was the sole producer of ACC football beginning with the 1984 football season, but the Raycom/JP Sports joint venture began to include ACC football for the 2004 season.〔(ACCSlicks.pdf ) Raycom Sports. Retrieved February 2, 2015.〕 In 2006, JP Sports' parent company, the Jefferson Pilot Corporation, merged with Lincoln National Corporation, taking the broadcasting and sports broadcasting divisions with it. JP Sports became Lincoln Financial Sports, thereby renaming the joint venture Raycom/LF Sports. Lincoln sold its sports broadcasting division to Raycom Media in November 2007, making Raycom Sports the sole producer of all ACC projects and, since from January 2008 until March 2009, Southeastern Conference men's basketball and football. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ACC Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
