The ACC Network will bring two shows to the Carolina campus this week ahead of televising No. 24 North Carolina’s football game at 8 p.m. Saturday against rival Duke.
It begins on Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. when the “ACC PM” will air, with the set at The Pit, which is between the UNC Student Stores and Lenoir Dining Hall, near the Frank Porter Graham Student Union and the Robert B. House Undergraduate Library.
Hosts for that show will be Mark Packer, former Virginia Tech wide receiver Eddie Royal and former Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel.
On Saturday, all three episodes of “ACC Huddle” will be produced from inside Kenan Stadium, with host Kelsey Riggs alongside former Clemson offensive guard Eric Mac Lain, Royal and Manuel.

Mark Richt, who regularly appears on “ACC Huddle,” won’t be part of Saturday’s shows because he’ll be at No. 1 Georgia’s home game Saturday night against No. 10 Mississippi, where he’ll be honored as a member of the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame class. He coached at Georgia for 15 years.
“ACC Huddle” will air on Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon, 6:30 to 8 p.m. and after the football game.
On Saturday night’s ACC Network call of the UNC-Duke game will be play-by-play announcer Wes Durham, analyst Tim Hasselbeck, a former Boston College quarterback, and sideline reporter Taylor Tannenbaum. Durham, of course, is the older son of the late Woody Durham, the legendary Voice of the Tar Heels
Tannenbaum is a regular host of “ACC PM,” but won’t be part of that show Friday because she’ll be in production meetings with the crew of the game broadcast.
