Pro Volleyball Federation teams with LTN to power the largest live video production effort in league history

Columbia, MD, January 22, 2025 – Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) and LTN have announced a partnership delivering groundbreaking live video production enhancements and expanded distribution across linear broadcast and streaming services in 2025. Following its highly successful inaugural season with almost 400,000 fans in attendance and millions of online viewers, the league harnesses a modular suite of LTN’s industry-leading intelligent IP video transport, live video production, and live event versioning technologies to reach fast-growing audiences on major broadcast networks and digital platforms, including CBS, FOX Sports, and Roku.

Pro Volleyball Federation is the leading professional volleyball league in the United States, championing the highest standards of women’s volleyball and driving the growth of the sport. After launching in 2024 with record-breaking attendance numbers, broadcast coverage with CBS Sports Network, and YouTube viewing figures surpassing 3.9 million, PVF’s expanded and extended 2025 season opened on January 9, bringing live coverage from San Diego Mojo’s clash with the Orlando Valkyries to FS2 audiences.

PVF has expanded its broadcast coverage by 350% this season from a year ago, deploying a new portfolio of LTN’s live video production, real-time customization and intelligent IP distribution services to deliver all 45 linear broadcast matches and 70 live digital events — powering high-quality experiences across subscription-based and ad-supported viewing models with greater scale, efficiency, and monetization potential.

“PVF is innovation-first and committed to growing the game through world-class experiences and best-in-class technology choices,” said Jen Spicher, CEO, Pro Volleyball Federation. “LTN provides us with unique technologies, top infrastructure and trusted live video production expertise to help our fast-growing sport scale and reach new audiences.
