Moved from Raleigh to Tampa this year and will hate missing NC State football... anyone know of a sports package you can get from Time Warner so I can keep up with Wolfpack ball this fall? Too bad State doesn't sell their own station... watch that shit each week!

Thanks.

Hey, I'm in Tampa...

I didn't have that problem last year. They carry JP down here and the ESPN and ABC games will still be on as regional deals. The SEC is on CBS, so they cant really intrude on the ABC regional broadcasts.

If worst comes to worst, I suggest going down to Ybor and seeing who's carrying the games that are blocked by UMiami or FSU games, b/c those games get preference (obviously).

And its not Time Warner here, its Brighthouse.

Games should be on ESPN Gameplan (carries JP and ABC regional) or ESPN-U if televised. You may or may not get the JP games, now that they are splitting ACC broadcasts, and obviously ABC you'll be fighting plenty of other teams. Either get that package or find a good sports bar that gets everything.

Brighthouse is owned by Time Warner... same difference.

Anyways, cool deal. Where bouts in Tampa are you? I'm acutally over here in FishHawk, west of Tampa, near Brandon/Valrico area. We'll have to watch some football this season.

'preciate it!

ESPN Gameplans usually carries all JP games. Ive heard nothing about regular split regional broadcasts, the only times I recall there being a split broadcast was when they did the State-UNC game last year while most people got another game. But yeah, if you have Gameplan along with the ESPNs and ABC then youre set...only other possibilties are if the game @ Southern Miss is on CSTV or if WITN somehow manages to do the game vs ECU (and I think those end up on Gameplan outside of NC as well).

The first two ACC LF games (LF bought JP) are Duke-VT and Duke-Wake. No splitting.
