stop talking about yourself and talking nonsense constantly. the target market is probably under 30... a generation that has taken selfies (essentially talking about yourself and talking nonsense) to a new level. So if fits.

On the upside, I find them better than last year...which wasn't a hard standard to beat. Think they have improved some and it cannot be easy to be on TV for 8-10 hours providing commentary for a game that has more down time than playing time.

I’m giving these guys a break when they have to provide 25-30 hours of content in a weekend. Can’t all be riveting.

So if fits. Kevin Barnett reeks of dadness. If the target market is under 30, then he is the wrong person. I didnt mind it as much as last year definitely, but agree it still too much "look at us, look at us" Late in the third in an incredibly compelling women's match, I think it was 14-12 or so for April after a 12 all tie and maybe the freeze had just happened, and rather than a replay or something to complement the suspense, what does Amazon show? Kevin Barnett trying to hit a ball with that hammer thing.

Camryn/Kevin, Please, please stop talking about yourself and talking nonsense constantly. K? Thx Good luck with that...During indoors broadcast all he talks is about himself. I actually watched the 2004 OG, but I could not even remember of knew who he was......then he started doing the FIVB indoors....well now I know everything about him as all he talks is about himself.

Sport Vs Show... I´m sorry but I prefer show before and after the matches... Otherwise, thanks Amazon for Quality Broadcast...

There is A LOT of time to kill on those Amazon Prime Video broadcasts-- when one runs out of talking points, one can only go to what/who they know best -- themselves. The demographic they are trying to keep captivated is the #selfie generation. IF you don't have anything that will keep them engaged they're going to drift off onto their Instagrams, SnapChats or fart around on Facebook Stories and not come back to watch the broadcast.

Honestly, the way they have the outer courts mic'd up, it's so much better. Sure, one fixed camera angle isn't the best way to watch the match ... BUT ... I LOVE hearing the smack talk as well as the in-game strategizing and communication between the players.
For example, it's amazing how much Kolinske had to talk about with EB between every point. Everything from where to serve from, who to serve to, how to serve, etc. Good peek under the hood.

I think the amount of time is key and the mistake is hiring traditional broadcasters to fill it. I thought Dain was ok but his broadcasting school 101 storytelling etc. got old. Get some people that know the game and who have compelling personalities. Let them talk a little less and I think the product would be better

the issue I have with Camryn unfortunately isn't anything she can easily fix -- she goes into her falcetto speaking voice whenever she gets excited, and that, just for me, drives me nuts. Others may not even notice it.
I do like their attitude and enthusiasm. During a match, I would prefer many fewer stories and anecdotes... just keep to the match... especially don't talk over the action.

The announcers are awful. All of them. Bring back Sunderland and Marlowe.
