We asked the question a few weeks ago who would be the @accnetwork’s Paul Finebaum. In other words, who would be the radio show host or hosts. We suggested @MarkPacker and @WesDurham could be candidates separate or together. Their ACC Central show on Sirius/XM 371 is a great ACC radio. I listen to it any chance I get.
Well the @accnetwork has made their radio show announcement
.@MarkPacker and @WesDurham are coming to ACCN!

The @accnetwork has nailed this one. The two work great together, and are well respected by ACC fans, media, and the schools. Most importantly @MarkPacker and @WesDurham are ACC guys.
Just like when you think Paul Finebaum, you think SEC. You think ACC with these two.
@WesDurham is known as the “The Mayor of the ACC”, is a former play by play announcer for Georgia Tech, and has been a regional sports announcer for the ACC for years. Durham came on one of our earliest ACC podcasts https://www.talkshoe.com/conf/summary/4729322. That meant a lot to us. @hokiesmash_ASD and I really appreciated his time as we do with all our guests. He is the son of the legendary former UNC play by play announcer Woody Durham.
@MarkPacker is a Clemson graduate, and has been based out Charlotte, NC for several years. He is the son of the legendary announcer Billy Packer who played at Wake Forest. He’s a radio show veteran with more than 25 years experience in the industry.
This announcement gets the @AllSportsDACC seal of approval.
Friday several @accnetwork programming announcements were made that can be found at ESPNMediaZone including the first basketball games on the network.
| Date | Event | Network |
| Tue., Nov. 5 | Louisville at Miami | ACCN |
| Tue, Nov. 5 | Georgia Tech at NC State | ACCN |
| Wed., Nov. 6 | Notre Dame at North Carolina | ACCN |
| Wed., Nov. 6 | Virginia at Syracuse | ACCN |
I’m also looking forward to the the Documentary on the history of ACC Basketball.
