Is Charter Cable closing in on carriage deal with the ACC Network?

First before reading this, let me know out some disclaimers. I don’t have any official information on this, and I don’t have any press releases that I usually like to quote when I talk about the ACC Network. This is strictly my personal experience from Saturday.

I live South Carolina, and I’m a Charter Cable Subscriber.  Each year I call Charter and negotiate a rate that I’m satisfied for the next year of service. It works for me, and has kept me a customer. With that said, in my discussion with the Charter representatives working on my service, I asked “Are you getting the ACC Network, because it’s on Direct TV. I want that channel”. I spoke to two different reps.

First Rep said – “Yes we are getting that channel. I don’t know when that announcement will be made. Possibly closer to the launch date”.

Second Rep said – “I can’t say if we are getting the channel, but if a carrier like Direct TV has it I expect we will carry it too. The major carriers like to have access to similar channel lineups.”

Take it for what it’s worth. I hope those reps are correct.  I obviously will watch the ACC Network, but I won’t stay with a provider that doesn’t have it.

I did find what they said very encouraging, though.
