I wonder what will happen after football season. Assume they’ll switch to a bball focused show but I will definitely miss the coverage of Olympic sports.
So Packer and Durham wasn't canceled for lack of ratings then....
They were no worse than the SECN Marty and McGee
I actually like Marty and McGee. Considering where they are both from, I wish they were on ACC network instead of SEC network.
Speaking of SEC network, I have enjoyed their TrueSouth series with John T. Nickens, which covers food/culture/music in SEC territory. I'd like to see the ACC network take on something similar.
"On this week and every week's episode *insert uNC alum* takes us to Franklin St restaurants to talk about James Taylor"
Good thing about this series is that they rarely go to an actual conference-member's city, nor do they directly reference football much either; often they feature backroads places run by immigrants who are too busy working and building a business to follow college football on the reg. But to your point, yeah, the ACCN would probably take the lazy approach and stick with spots like Top of the Hill, Amedeos, The Varsity and Esso Club.
New Packer show ACC PM premieres on Monday.

I think it's cute you all are talking about ESPN actually spending money on ACC Network programming.
ACC needs to start making money somehow for our schools seeing how the B10 is signing a contract for $7 billion over 7 years for their schools with CBS, Fox & NBC. Not including CFP playoffs, NCAA tourney & bowl games, they will be paying out over $75 mill per team in 2024.
they'd do The Beacon, Varsity, Franklin Street, Primanti Bros, some shit like Legal Seafood in Boston, the Brown Hotel in Lousiville, a Cuban joint in Miami, The Pit in Raleigh, and idk about where else.
Jesus if they came to Raleigh and went to The Pit I would lose my damn mind.
That's True South though.
