Charlotte is more SEC than ACC, regardless of how the ACC tries to present it or support the city.
It is not a question of the town. It is who ESPN employs, and those folks are ACC both in front of the camera and behind the scenes on the staff. If you think this is changing you are not paying attention. Host Communications was founded in the SEC and pro SEC. It employed SEC kids out of school and it was located in SEC turf. Host was bought by IMG College and the first thing they did was move it to ACC country and employing ACC folks at the entry level.
Tell me how ESPN is not a repeat of this?

You are spot on here. I live in Clemson, so my local sports radio comes from WCCP (the flagship of clemson athletics). I know for a fact because he has mentioned it on the air, one of their host, the play by play caller for Clemson Baseball has been hire by ESPN for the SEC Network for Basketball and other broadcast. Roy Philpott broke this news on his radio show a couple of weeks ago when clemson fired their play by play caller for football and he gave the reason why he could not take over that roll for football and basketball was for the fact he had been hired by ESPN to do things for the SEC Network.
