Anyone Hear Who In Boston Will Carry The Raycom/JP ACC Football Package??

With Boston College having moved to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and with Raycom/Jefferson-Pilot syndicating a package of ACC football games (at least one of which will likely feature BC), has anyone heard who might be broadcasting the games this year??

I could see either NESN or WCVB-5 (the latter carried the Big East syndciated football package from ESPN Plus while Boston College was in the Big East) picking the package up.

Does anyone know if anyone in Boston has picked-up the Raycom/JP ACC fotball games?? And if so, who??

Neither JP nor Raycom Sports sites list affiliates. The ACC web site does not either. If WCVB/WMUR is not still under contract with ESPN for the Big East they would make the most sense. WLVI carried some Big East games last year so they may be a possibility as well.

If WCVB/WMUR does move to the ACC I hope someone (maybe NESN???) will pick up the Big East. Even without BC there are still Alumni from other Big East schools who live in the Boston DMA. After what the ACC did to my Alma Mater I definitely will not be watching them.
 
I believe WSBK picked-up the basketball coverage. Perhaps they did the football as well. You may want to contact them directly to ask, Joseph.
