Story Highlights
The Pro Volleyball Federation will crown a champion this weekend at Lee's Family Forum outside Las Vegas. Again partnered with production entity LTN, the U.S.-based professional women's indoor league has enhanced its live-broadcast efforts and expanded distribution throughout its sophomore season. Through the partnership, broadcast coverage has grown 350% from 2024, comprising 45 linear matches and around 70 live digital events this season.

Our goal from the beginning has been to make every single match available to our fans and followers, and LTN has been a vital component in making that happen, says Rob Carolla, VP, public and media relations, PVF. We were fortunate to be introduced to them in our first season. It was obvious to us that LTN was a partner that we could work with effectively and efficiently. The company understood what being a partner meant: that we could both grow and expand as professional volleyball in the U.S. continued to explode.
Adds Colin Moran, VP, production products, LTN, This collaboration builds on a successful regular season of centralized productions, delivering high-quality broadcasts across the league's regular-season campaign.
Starting at 8 p.m. ET tonight on CBS Sports Network, the PVF semifinals will feature a doubleheader of the Omaha Supernovas vs. the Indy Ignite followed by the Atlanta Vibe vs. Orlando Valkyries. The winners will compete Sunday at 4 p.m., with the champion earning a $1 million prize bonus.

The three semifinal and final matches will be produced via LTN's centralized workflow, LTN's Moran says, in an effort toward minimizing onsite footprint while maximizing production efficiency. Parked at Lee's Family Forum, the production company's X-1 mobile unit will send broadcast feeds to its 30,000-sq.-ft. production facility in Kansas City, MO, and LTN will handle all the production elements - replay, graphics, audio mixing, video switching - before sending the final product to CBS.
LTN, which produced multiple regular-season PVF matches at Lee's Family Forum, will deploy five manned broadcast cameras for the matches, along with a set of beauty angles for enhanced storytelling. In addition, Shure MX391 microphones, with cardioid capsules placed around the volleyball court, will capture the sounds of the matches. Says Moran, This is ideal for capturing the dynamic acoustics of volleyball.
For the championship-weekend broadcasts, he adds, LTN's strategic focus is three-fold: delivering a polished, national-broadcast-quality experience for PVF's championship series; ensuring production consistency across centralized workflows while scaling for heightened primetime-event demands; showcasing the energy, athleticism, and elite level of PVF athletes through dynamic camera work and immersive audio integration.

The size and seating layout at Lee's Family Forum did present some challenges from a camera-placement perspective. Capturing both vertical and lateral action clearly requires precise planning, Moran notes. With our vast regular-season experience at the venue, we've fine-tuned our setup to optimize coverage for the finals.
PVF's Carolla adds, [LTN's] ability to adapt to the eight venues in our league appealed to us, They have been willing to adjust to each arena's unique configurations and technology - and deal with issues immediately and head on when they arise.
LTN is partnering with BOLT6 Technologies to provide challenge and in/out feeds for the broadcasts. The sports-technology firm's optical-tracking technology is the only sports-officiating technology approved for use in volleyball, Moran says.
Hundreds of individuals across the league, the four participating teams, LTN, Lee's Family Forum, and external vendors like BOLT6 will contribute to the weekend's three matches and the overall production. LTN in particular will have nearly 30 operations, production, and engineering crew members supporting the broadcasts. All three matches will be produced by Jeff Graham and directed by Kevin Shank.
Says Moran, This event celebrates and showcases how centralized production, combined with strong partnerships, can deliver major-league broadcast quality with unmatched agility and scale.
