Major League Volleyball (MLV) is partnering with LTN to support live video production and distribution for what it describes as its most expansive broadcast schedule to date in 2026.
With a 50-match broadcast slate across major national networks, streaming services and local stations, the collaboration enables continued audience growth for MLV, it added.
Rob Carolla, Vice President, Public and Media Relations at MLV, said: “We’re kicking off a milestone season for MLV with new energy, closer fan connection and our widest broadcast coverage to date. LTN has been a vital part of our growth journey, advancing our production quality, working across any venue and enabling new graphics and viewing features to enhance the fan experience — all while simplifying customisation and distribution for multiple rights partners.”
MLV will employ a range of LTN production and transport services, using a multi-camera setup and remote transmission technologies with centralised production from LTN’s Kansas City technical operations centre (TOC). LTN manages all the complexities of live event production, from announcer integration to audio mixing, replay, custom graphics insertion and playout.
Bryan McGuirk, Chief Revenue Officer at LTN, said: “We’re seeing huge growth in a new generation of dynamic, innovation-first sports leagues. With rights models evolving and demand for live events surging, MLV is a standout example of how sports organisations can harness agile production models and purpose-built IP distribution to enhance reach and monetisation.”
