ACC Network is expanding its football coverage this coming football season. The network will add SiriusXM’s ACC Today to its Monday and Thursday schedule starting tomorrow. Also, the network will welcome former Pittsburgh quarterback Nate Peterman and former North Carolina wide receiver J.J. Jones to its talent roster.
What We Know: ACC Today currently airs weekdays from 8-10 a.m. ET on SiriusXM’s ACC Radio channel. Now, the show will also air on ACC Network on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET throughout football season. Hosts Wes Durham, Roddy Jones, EJ Manuel and Eric Mac Lain will lead the expanded broadcast. The move adds to ACCN’s existing slate, which includes ACC PM, Inside ACCess and Saturday’s ACC Huddle.
What’s At Stake: By expanding the roster of talents and added programming, it builds for a strengthened position for the network heading into another exciting college football season.
What Remains Unclear: Why the program will only air on Monday’s and Thursday is unknown. Also, how Peterman and Jones are slated to make appearances is also unknown.
What It Means: ACC Network continues building out its football studio presence ahead of the season. Adding ACC Today gives the network more content across Mondays and Thursdays. Meanwhile, new analysts Peterman and Jones bolster Saturday coverage alongside returning voices like Jimbo Fisher and Mark Richt. Together, these moves signal a deeper investment in year-round conference coverage.
