Why Wake-N.C. State isn't on TV

Raycom Sports manages to get 92 of 96 ACC men's basketball games this season on television, and all Raycom Senior Vice President George Johnson hears about are the four that aren't, including Wake Forest's game at N.C. State tonight.

Why Wake-N.C. State isn't on TV

If only basketball were as easy to schedule as football. Then Raycom would have been able to change the schedule to make sure Wake Forest's basketball game at N.C. State was televised. It wasn't.

FYI: UNC-Duke telecast

Tags: ACC Now | Duke | ESPN | Raycom | UNC | WRAL

A quick heads-up: The game at 9 p.m. Wednesday will be shown on Raycom affiliates in this region (WRAL in RaleighDurham) and on ESPN outside ACC territory.
