Raycom Sports Loaning ACC Video Streaming Rights To Schools
Raycom Sports, which owns the live streaming video rights to ACC events, has "loaned the rights for regular-season Olympic sports to the schools for the 2009-10 season," according to Michael Smith of SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL. While the new arrangement "significantly depletes the programming for ACC Select, the league's live streaming feature, it will retain the rights to all ACC championship events." ACC schools previously had been without any live streaming options for their official Web sites because "all of that content went to ACC Select." But now that they have ownership of those rights, there is "no guarantee the schools will immediately start streaming live video on their sites." Most schools said they are "still evaluating whether to stream Olympic sports live and if so, how much." Raycom's rights for ACC Select are "part of the TV contract that extends through the 2010-11 season." Raycom Sports President & CEO Ken Haines said that the loan to the schools is "good for one year and will be re-evaluated at some point next year." In the past, the schools received a stipend from Raycom, "which paid for most or all of the production costs and included equipment so that schools could produce the events for ACC Select." Now that the events are "back in the hands of the schools, the stipend has dried up and the schools must now figure out how to pay for the production if they want to stream the games live" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 9/7 issue).
