Watching every single court in Doha makes me more and more furious that AVP has refused to give us this very basic option. We don't want Cameron, Camaran or Kameroon, we want EVERY court available for us to stream. Not listening to your customers is horrible business Donald, make this happen, no excuses.

In their defense, Qatar is one of the wealthiest nations in the world... albeit Amazon isn’t doing too poorly

It’s literally unbelievable they haven’t done this yet. It is some sort of business malpractice that, in today’s day and age, you can’t watch the outer court matches at home.

Donald wants all traffic to flow through crappy AP coverage which is for those who know nothing about the sport, both viewers and those calling the action. |

Probably, but what was the excuse for the X # of years before the AP deal?

I think it would more than double viewership. Don’t even need commentators. My favorite teams aren’t the guys getting the most stadium court games, so instead of only tuning in when they are on stadium I would watch every match.

Exact same here, I want to watch new teams, up and coming teams, not the same 8 teams over and over and over with inane commentary. Donald will never do this after the AP deal, he's literally giving the middle finger to us, the sport's true fans. |

I think if you asked nicely, they would build you a crying room.

If you sat in the meeting, reviewed the data, you'd "probably come to the same conclusion"...It is rough though, when you're watching two teams you've seen "a million times" play stadium court, while the BEST GAME IN THE WORLD is going on at Court #3...Oh woe is us....Hey, why not be like FIVB, where instead of watching ANYTHING live, we get to enjoy "live scoring" (That is if we can find it)...LOL . . . I should go back to High School basketball in Iowa, better coverage! LOL

Well... how many viewers would you want to realistically see on each court feed? I think you’ll just see friends and family watching those matches.

Well... how many viewers would you want to realistically see on each court feed? I think you’ll just see friends and family watching those matches. I dont think multi-court would necessarily have a ton of value in increasing the number of overall viewers. But where it would have value is in maintaining viewers. Lets say there are 10,000 people that want to watch AVP on a given day. They log on, ready to see some volleyball. The first match shown is April/Alix versus the lowest-seeded qualifier. (the most popular of the 5 matches scheduled at that time) Of those 10k fans, Group 1 - 1,500 fans of men's volleyball. Don't care about the women's game. They logoff and make a note to check in later when there might be a men's match. Group 2 - 2,000 fans who know enough to understand that this is going to be 21-12, 21-12 and they aren't interested in watching a blowout, so they logoff with the intent to come back later once the matches are more competitive. Group 3 - 1,000 fans who didnt anticipate a blowout but don't want to see one, particularly when April/Alix are playing 75% and not hitting bombs etc. and they log off. So of the potential audience, the AVP has 50% by the end of this match, which is still probably their best case for a single match. If all courts were streamed, Group 1 could watch Bomgren/Field play Casebeer/Schalk, Group 2 could pick a match they think will be competitive, and Group 3 can shop around for a different match as opposed to logging off when they see April/Alix half-assing it. Thats what I see as the value of multiple courts. Not expanding the audience, but maximizing the time spend watching by people already inclined to do so. |
