The number of potential viewers is almost 180 million: 10 million of them are Americans (thanks to some important television stations like Eleven Sports Network in Usa Sky Messico and Band Sport in Brazil) and 15 million Europeans.
These figures, that confirms a steady international TV interest for Italian volleyball, have been published in the past few days by MP&Silva, world leading agency for the distribution of TV rights (those of SuperLega UnipolSai too); as compared with the previous championship there are eleven countries more (from 55 to 66), with a consequent increase of 60 million potential viewers. The so-called Global Matches – games of regular season that are broadcasted worldwide during each turn of Lega Pallavolo Serie A – enjoy great success.
