The ACC's football syndication package has expanded into 40 new markets this season, including such faraway locales as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. Those new markets give ACC football more exposure than it's ever enjoyed in its longtime relationship with Raycom Sports, which syndicates the games for the league. Raycom has held the conference's syndication rights since 1982. In the ACC's new 12-year, $1.86 billion TV agreement, which kicks in this season, ESPN owns all of the media rights, so Raycom must sublicense games each week from ESPN to syndicate. Raycom also has launched a live pregame and halftime studio show this season for the first time. Those segments originate out of studios in Charlotte at NASCAR Media Group's facility. In addition, Raycom is producing ACC games for Fox regional networks for the first time.

The show also has given its producer, NASCAR Media Group, a road map for future projects that will take the group outside of NASCAR programming.
