League One Volleyball suffered a PR nightmare on Saturday night when its proprietary LOVB Live stream from Omaha proved balky, causing an outcry from fans.
LOVB addressed the issue in a post distributed at 8:33 p.m. Central across its social-media accounts (see the screenshot below from X, formerly Twitter).
I encountered no issues watching either of the double-header matches from the Liberty First Credit Union Arena in the Omaha suburb of Ralston on my desktop computer. When I saw the reports of dissatisfied users having problems, I tried loading the Austin-Omaha nightcap on my tablet. I was able to get a picture and sound but it took a long time and then abruptly konked out.
The object lesson here for startup League One Volleyball is that the last thing fans want to go wrong in the Internet Age is their live feed.
Evidence the eye can see (in the accompanying photo) can be found that even fans in volleyball-mad Omaha did not flock…
