Nebraska Public Media sports put fans close to the action with live broadcasts, high school championship coverage and local stories.
It’s no secret that Nebraskans are passionate about volleyball, and no one tells those stories like Nebraska Public Media.
From local documentaries and live broadcasts to stories produced by our dedicated sports reporter, we bring fans closer to the athletes, coaches and moments that define the sport in our state.
At the Wyoming ranch where former Husker coach John Cook is living a new adventure, our crew captured an exclusive interview about his extraordinary journey for The Last Ride with John Cook.
Veteran sportscaster Larry Punteney guided Cook through a candid conversation about his humble beginnings, a life altering moment that reshaped his career and the philosophy that made him one of volleyball’s most influential coaches.
We produce live coverage of Nebraska and Creighton volleyball, professional matches featuring the Omaha Supernovas and a full day of Nebraska high school volleyball championships. Multiple cameras, a remote production truck and dozens of skilled professionals work together to capture every block, dig, kill as spectators chant and cheer.
Volleyball is more than a game here. It’s part of who we are. We’re proud to share moments that unite the state— on the court and beyond.
Building Sports Traditions
Long before volleyball became a national phenomenon, we were first to introduce the sport to Nebraska, working with former coach Terry Pettit to perfect camera angles so it was easier for fans to follow the action.
Today, our sports production teams deliver front-row access to the excitement of competition in a variety of sports, creating unforgettable viewing experiences for Nebraskans on every screen.
A longtime partnership with the Nebraska School Activities Association brings more than 40 high school championship sports events to television each year, while live streaming on our YouTube channel allows families and fans to cheer from anywhere.
Our local series State of Volleyball digs deeper into the stories that fuel Nebraska’s passion for the game while Big Red Wrap-Up continues its long tradition of insightful Husker football analysis on our network.
From homeruns to touchdowns, first serves to championship celebrations, we are Nebraska’s Home for Sports, producing more than 200 hours of action each year – and setting the standard for public media sports coverage.
