WCSN Delivers Full FIVB Action including World Tour, World Championships and World Grand Slams

World
Championship Sports Network (WCSN), the premier destination for fans of Olympic
and lifestyle sports, is offering the International Volleyball Federation
(FIVB) beach volleyball season via its television and broadband network at www.wcsn.com.
WCSN will have extensive coverage of every World Tour, Grand Slam and World
Championship event as athletes compete in events all around the world.

The
official season began in May with the season opener in

Shanghai. The following months will be filled
with intense rounds of competition highlighted by the SWATCH-FIVB World
Championships in

Gstaad,

Switzerland. From July 24- 29, more
than 100,000 spectators will watch the 48 of the world’s top men’s and
women’s teams, including two-time U.S. defending champions and fan favorites
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, as they compete for $1 million in prize
money. WCSN will be there for every kill, block, and dig, offering live and
on-demand coverage online and on television during the biggest tournament of
the year. In addition to the prize money, the event offers the highest
qualifying points for the 2008 Olympics, making it the most vital event for
athletes vying for a spot in the 24-team Olympic field.

“It
is really exciting to be able to showcase the entire FIVB beach volleyball
season and give our viewers access to the impressive process of qualifying for
the Olympic Games. We’re thrilled to let fans watch each match and follow their
favorite players and pairs around the globe during the season,” said WCSN
Chairman and CEO Claude Ruibal. “As WCSN continues to expand its coverage
to a more broad-based audience, we’re eager to promote to passionate fans that
play and associate with these great sports.”

“WCSN
is delivering important TV and broadband coverage for the FIVB properties in
the country where the sport (Volleyball and Beach Volleyball) was born. We’re
happy to enable a large

U.S.
audience to enjoy our events staged all over the world,” said Angelo
Squeo, Beach Volleyball Events Director at the FIVB since 1994.
“Volleyball has been rated among the most popular sports in the Olympic
Games and our objective is to maintain this momentum and interest through such
ambitious and growing broadcasters as WCSN.”
