With the new Premier League season approaching on August 11, whether or not fans will be able to watch the live broadcast as scheduled has become the most focused topic among hundreds of millions of Chinese football fans. On August 5, Yixun Sky Network Technology Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen held a press conference in Beijing and announced externally that its website 500wan (www.500wan.com) had reached an agreement with TianSheng Media, which owns the broadcasting rights of the Premier League, and purchased the network broadcasting rights for this season's Premier League matches. The website thereby became the domestic network platform that can provide Premier League network live broadcast services for fans.
Renowned football commentator Li Chengpeng, Xu Yang, Zhang Lu, as well as senior executives from TianSheng Media and media reporters jointly attended this press conference. Representatives of Yixun Network and TianSheng Media also signed a formal cooperation agreement on site.
