French digital-terrestrial television channel L'Équipe 21 has agreed a three-season deal with the French Volleyball League, the Ligue Nationale de Volley.
L'Équipe 21 has acquired exclusive distribution rights to the men’s and women’s club championships from 2015-16 to 2017-18.
The LNV said it has signed the deal as part of a “common desire” to improve the visibility of volleyball in France, with L’Équipe 21 set to offer extensive live free-to-air exposure to the competitions for the first time.
