I've looked through this thread and haven't found this info. If I missed it, sorry for the late repost.
Introduction of the 2nd Bundesliga Pro
On November 19th, at the DVV general meeting, the last step towards the establishment of the 2nd Bundesliga Pro was successfully taken. Because the DVV general meeting also voted unanimously for the establishment of the new league. By the November 1 pre-licensing deadline, the following fourteen interested teams had registered:
- DSHS SnowTrex Köln
- TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen
- SCU Emlichheim
- VC Allbau Essen
- ESA Grimma Volleys
- SSC Freisen
- Skurios Volleys Borken
- Stralsunder Wildcats
- ETV Hamburg
- TV Dingolfing
- DVV junior bases
- DVV junior bases
- Rote Raben Vilsbiburg II
- TSV Flacht
It should be noted that the first six clubs have already submitted a formal license application for the new league. Clubs seven to ten have submitted what is known as a pre-licensing application and now have until February 1, 2023 to decide whether they want to submit a formal license entry. The fact that these four clubs have not yet submitted a formal license application is probably due to the fact that they are actually interested in promotion to the first division and are now looking at whether they still want to go the intermediate way of becoming Bundesliga 2 pros. The two DVV junior bases are said to be in Berlin (VCO Berlin) and Dresden (VCO Dresden). The second team from the Roten Raben has applied for a vacancy, whatever that means exactly. In addition, TSV Flacht, whose first team currently plays in the seventh-rate district league, has applied for a wild card. I have also attached two links to this curious license application from TSV Flacht.

Dyn also shows women's volleyball
After the streaming service Dyn had already secured the rights to the men's Bundesliga, the streaming service has now also secured sublicenses for the women's Bundesliga because the broadcasting rights for the 2023/24 to 2025/26 seasons are actually still with Sport1. The sub-license includes all games of the women's national league, the DVV cup games from the round of 16 and the women's volleyball supercup.
