Just saw that the UK game vs. South Carolina is going to be broadcast on RAYCOM.
One question: what the **** is RAYCOM?
It sounds like some new company that makes laser ray-guns or something.
How is a regular person supposed to watch this game?
Haha. They bought out what was the old Lincoln Financial broadcasting that did alot of SEC stuff. I assume they still gonna use the WKYT/WYMT stations.
Yeah, I jus checked their site, and WKYT is still a Lex affiliate.
Jefferson Pilot to Lincoln financial to Raycom.
Man they just started calling it Lincoln Financial here recently after it was called Jefferson Pilot. Does nobody want the sponsorship?
Raycom always did a lot of ACC games, kind of their version of J-P. The production quality was always about the same as the J-P broadcasts, so I expect very little will change.
short for Ray Communications - founded by Rick Ray in Charlotte around 1980.
He started with Va. Tech hoops, then joined with J-P to get ACC hoops.
Created the Blockbuster & Continental Tire Bowls.
Renamed the Sea Wolf Classic to the Great Alaska Shootout.
J-P became LFS recently, but I don't think LFS was bought by Raycom.
