This blog has not been updated in a few months so I am adding a few updates...
The AVP pro beach volleyball tour will now be on the CBS affiliate, The CBS Sports Network.. NBC used to cover beach volleyball until 2010. The finals only will be televised. The preliminary rounds will be streamed live on AVP.com The AVP season starts August 16 in Salt Lake City and ends October 20 in Huntington Beach, CA. There will also be stops in Cincinnati, OH, St. Petersburg, FL and Santa Barbara, CA.
I wonder if the CBS Sports Network can get Chris Marlowe to cover the AVP like he did on NBC..
