Former NFL safety Tre Boston and WTHR-TV Sports Reporter Taylor Tannebaum have been paired with Mark Packer for ACC PM, the new daily studio show for the ACC Network.
ACC PM will air daily from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and will be centered around delivering news and commentary on the 15 ACC institutions.
“We are excited to have Taylor and Tre join our ACCN team and team up with Pack in the basement” said Aaron Katzman, ACCN coordinating producer. “All three have special ties to the ACC with Taylor growing up in South Florida and graduating from FSU, Tre being a star on the football field at UNC, and no one is as well-versed about the conference as Mark. This trio will be sure to entertain, engage and educate viewers every weekday afternoon.”
Boston, a North Carolina grad, was drafted in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He played five seasons in Carolina, while also spending time with the Chargers and Cardinals.
“This is truly a blessing and I’m thankful for ESPN and ACCN for the opportunity to be a part of the network and help launch the new afternoon show,” said Boston. “I love to talk, and this is a professional step I’ve always wanted to take. Mark Packer is the one of the best in the business and Taylor brings a unique and fresh perspective that I’m eager to learn from and grow with. I’m an ACC guy, so to be able to talk ACC football and sports every afternoon is a match made in heaven.”
Tannebaum, a Florida State alumna, has worked as a local sports reporter, spending the past four years in Indianapolis. She began her career in Huntsville, Alabama before moving to Dothan, Alabama.
“Ever since ACCN launched in 2019, it’s been a dream of mine to be a part of it,” said Tannebaum. “As a Florida State alum, I take great pride in the ACC and I’m humbled to be given the opportunity to highlight the conference every day. Even more exciting is the chance to join forces with Mark Packer and Tre Boston to bring viewers and fans a mix of in-depth insight and personality on ACC PM each afternoon. It’s a team I’m honored to be a part of and a product we are thrilled to share.”
The debut show will be Monday, August 22nd. The show will hit the road to begin the college football season, as they’ll be in Chapel Hill, North Carolina for week 0 as UNC plays host to Florida A&M.
Was a big fan of Packer and Durham and watch every show . Try the new show ACC PM and could not get thru it . It was god awful and the co host suck big time . Extremely disappointed I was looking forward to watching it. If they change co host I will give it a another shot but right now it is to painful to watch.
My husband and I enjoyed Packer and Durham each morning. This fall’s version is, we agree, painful to watch. We lasted an hour. UGH!
I was a fan of the Packer & Durham show and was disappointed when it ended. However, I’m glad to see the ACC PM show air. As an ACC fan this is a great source of a very diverse range of inside info. Interviews with players,
coaches, staff and various “experts” is enlightening. Tre & Taylor obviously don’t have Wes Durham’s experience in front of a camera, but change is inevitable and there is nothing wrong with a fresh perspective (or 2). Heck, we may just learn something new.
Good luck with the new show and thanks for keeping us informed about the latest ACC news.
Taylor and Tre – you need to make Pack treat you to some Lexington BBQ.
Just a suggestion.
Packer and Durham had a great show. This afternoon show would be better with Packer by himself. Co-hosts detract from the quality of content.
