The AVP Is Back on NBC
Two Live Broadcasts During the 2002 Season Marks the Return Of Beach Volleyball to Network Television
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., Jan 30, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) and NBC Sports announced an agreement today returning AVP Pro Beach Volleyball to NBC with two live, summertime broadcasts during the tour's 2002 season. As part of this new television alliance both AVP men's and women's beach volleyball matches will be spotlighted on NBC. The Michelob Light Manhattan Beach Open (August 8-11), which has been the AVP's marquee event since the tour was founded by current Commissioner Leonard Armato in 1983, will be broadcast live on NBC Sunday, August 11, from 4-6 p.m. (ET) and will benefit from a large, lead-in audience following NBC's coverage of NASCAR's Watkins Glen International race. The second AVP on NBC tournament will be telecast live on Sunday, August 25, from 2-4 p.m. (ET) from the Chicago Open (August 22-25) at North Avenue Beach. Armato recently led a group that acquired the AVP and quickly initiated discussions with NBC to renew its association with AVP Beach Volleyball. "I am excited to be back in the sport of beach volleyball," said AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato. "We have an enormous opportunity with our NBC Sports partnership to return the AVP to national prominence and eclipse its previous successes. Beach volleyball has been widely regarded as the hottest sport at the past two Olympics and this partnership with 'America's Olympic Network' is the first of many steps we will be taking in the coming months that will help us and our partners go to the next level." This season all seven AVP tournament stops will feature men's and women's competition. With more than $1 million available in prize money and four hours of live programming on NBC, the AVP has developed a strategy along with key partnership alignments that will soundly support the nation's best volleyball tour. "NBC is thrilled to see Leonard Armato at the helm of the AVP and proud to welcome the AVP back to our summer programming lineup," said Jon Miller, Senior Vice President, NBC Sports. "Back in 1990 when the AVP first appeared on NBC, it provided a wonderful introduction to this exciting game and its charismatic stars. Most important, it helped launch a dynamic, new Olympic sport starting with the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and continuing in Sydney and beyond. We're convinced this game will get even more popular moving forward."

AVP Womens News - TV Update
NEW YORK (Variety) - Geraldine Laybourne's Oxygen Media will cablecast five of the seven women's Assn. of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) tournaments this summer. The deal is consistent with Oxygen's recently announced strategy of focusing only on high-visibility women's sports. Six weeks ago, Oxygen laid off 20 people in its sports division, reducing the number of events from 31 per year to about 12. Lydia Stephans, president and executive producer of Oxygen Sports, called the AVP tournaments "the premier women's beach volleyball competition in the world." In addition to the five Oxygen cablecasts, the AVP will get two live broadcasts on NBC. Oxygen's five cablecasts will run on consecutive Sunday afternoons at 2, beginning June 9.

AVP Hour on the radio
Courtesy of Hugo Rec.Sport.Volleyball In yesterday's LA Times (May 17, 2002), a column written by Larry Stewart, he mentiones that: "Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith will co-host a new weekly show, "The AVP Hour," on KMPC (1540 AM) Thursdays, 7-8 p.m., beginning next week (May 23, 2002)." However, I listened to KMPC earlier today (Sat. May 18) and I heard a commercial for it and "Geeter" (Chris McGee) said that he and Sinjin will be hosting this new weekly show. He also said that if you don't listen you'll get sand kicked in your face! ;-) Anyway, whoever is hosting, it's good to know that the vball community is getting high profile ambassadors of the game to get the word out about beach volleyball on the radio! Yay volleyball! I hope that we can continue this well into the future. :-) Hugo Hey Hugo,Thanks for the info.Any coverage of the AVP by its Players is welcome news.By the way Ian Clark has had his own radio show of sorts on Live365 for over 2 years now.Take a listen to DJ Slimknicky1 at the following link: Listen!!! to "I-RADIO AVP" IMAN'S Broadcasting in Stereo!!!24/7 Featuring "DJ- KNICKY" playing all the hits for AVP fans!!!
