What channels show the World Championship?

[topgun]

Does anyone know what t.v station/channels will show the upcoming FIVB World Championship? in the U.S? I am on a temporary job assignment out to the some hickville in the middle of nowhere, I am worried they may not have access to as many stations or cable t.v as I would like.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 27, 2006) – World Championships Sports Network (www.wcsn.com) will video stream portions of the FIVB World Championships held in Japan.

WCSN will broadcast, on a same-day delayed basis, one match per day during the second round, semifinal and final round action for both the women’s and men’s championship.

The women’s second round dates are Nov. 8, Nov. 9, Nov. 11 and Nov. 12. The women’s semifinals are on Nov. 15, followed by the championship on Nov. 16. The men’s second round dates are Nov. 25, Nov. 26, Nov. 28 and Nov. 29. The men’s semifinal round is scheduled for Dec. 2, followed by the finals on Dec. 3. The matches will be shown at 6 p.m. ET on each day.

WCSN has indicated it plans to feature as many men’s and women’s Team USA matches as possible during the World Championships starting with the second round, but can not guarantee a U.S. match for each broadcast time slot due to advancement of the teams. If the U.S. does not advance in either the men's or women's World Championship, the broadcast slots will be filled with key matches involving other countries.

World Championship Sports Network (WCSN) is the country’s premier multi-platform network dedicated to creating a 24/7, 360° destinations for interacting with and viewing athletes and international sports competitions from around the world; on TV, online and on handheld devices. With exclusive long-term programming agreements with over 20 major international sports federations, including track and field, gymnastics, skiing, volleyball and many others, WCSN delivers exciting world-class competitions that can’t be seen anywhere else.

Thanks for the info! I just signed up today for only 5 bucks. I do have a question though. I can't find an archived video of the USA match against Kazakhstan. I can view other matches but not this one. Unless I am looking at the 2005 matches? Thanks for any help in this matter.

Yes, on the side there. But since this is the first time I've been able to see international volleyball, I don't know if those games were played in 2005? It shows five days worth and I thought this thing just started?

the ones on the left are future matches. If they start archiving matches I'd love to know!

On the right are from the Grand Prix in August.

I saw a note somewhere sayibg "Archived match is available for only about 2 hrs after its end" plus according to the schedule they will start webcast on Nov 8th, but I could be wrong

Can you guys answer me something, I was looking over the best player stats and Robyn Ah-Mow Santos is only averaging 4 assists per game. Is that right? I'm not sure that I understand the way the international stats are done for setters. The top setter has 12+ assists per game. Just found that odd.
