I don't know about World Volleyball (at all) but the concept of expanding into other sports is a good idea. There are many teams in Calgary, University and otherwise, that would love extra exposure which could lead to more fans coming out.
The resources issue is a big one, but the teams involved would be able to help the broadcasters understand and latch on to story lines that could become interesting to a casual listener. It doesn't mean the broadcasters need to go to the games, that would be very time consuming. But even just a few conversations with the teams' leadership would go a long way to help getting into interesting story lines.
Start it small, and see if it "takes".
Generally, I think you're onto something.
