LONDON (AP) — The Premier League is without a broadcast partner in China after ending one of its most lucrative international agreements.
The league did not give a reason on Thursday for the termination of its agreement with streaming service PPTV after one season of a three-year contract through 2022, reportedly worth 550 million pounds ($718 million).
British newspaper The Daily Mail reported last month that PPTV withheld a payment of 160 million pounds ($209 million) in rights fees that were due in March. That was when the Premier League was suspended because of the coronavirus outbreak.
