The UNC men’s basketball team will visit Boston College on Saturday, looking to extend its winning streak to eight games. The Tar Heels have won 16 of their last 17 matchups against the Eagles, including victories in Chapel Hill and the ACC Tournament last season.
If you aren’t making the trip up north with the team, here’s how you can follow along at home:
Broadcast Schedule
Those hoping to listen on the radio with Jones Angell on the call can do so at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM, or by streaming the radio broadcast on Chapelboro.com.
97.9 The Hill’s radio coverage of the game will begin at 12:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell. At 1 p.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until tip-off. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately an hour after the conclusion of the game.
For regular season and ACC Tournament game broadcasts, you can access the stream (computer, tablet or phone) through Chapelboro.com, TuneIN or most streaming apps, but you must be within 75-miles of Chapel Hill and have your location services for your device turned on. This applies to Hubert Davis Live but does not apply to Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell, which you can stream from anywhere in the world 90 minutes before tip-off! If you live more than 75 miles outside of Chapel Hill, you can access the Tar Heel Sports Network game broadcast stream through the Varsity Network.
TV Schedule
Television coverage of the game begins at 2:15 p.m. The game will be broadcast on The CW. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry The CW. To find The CW’s channel number on your provider, click here and enter your ZIP code. The CW affiliate in the 27514 (Chapel Hill) ZIP code is WLFL.
What if I don’t have cable?
The game WILL NOT be streamed on The CW app or WatchESPN. However, several cord-cutting options carry The CW and will carry the live broadcast.
YouTube TV prices at $73/month and carries The CW.
Hulu TV goes for $76/month and includes The CW, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.
DirecTV STREAM starts at $65/month and carries The CW on WLFL in the 27514 ZIP code.
