Swofford: August launch of ACC TV channel ‘on schedule’ Posted May 7, 2019 ACC commissioner John Swofford says “everything is on schedule” for the August launch of the league’s TV channel. Speaking Monday, Swofford says a focus now is getting more distribution deals for TV providers to carry the ACC Network. He said the channel has “hit every mark” so far in securing those deals because the league is partnered with Disney-owned ESPN. (Associated Press)
