from Financial News USA,
XFMedia, a leading media group in China, announced that it has invested US$ 2 million for a 15.5% stake in All Sports Network ("ASN"). ASN is scheduled to be launched by Hong Kong based Yes TV in September 2008. XFMedia has exclusive distribution rights via mobile, television, internet and radio, to ASN’s content in China. ASN will offer exclusive coverage of North America’s biggest sports leagues in HDTV (high definition television), including the NHL (National Hockey League), the NFL (National Football League), NCAA basketball and football, March Madness and the Final Four.
I know we have a loyal bunch of readers who live in China, hopefully this is good news for you.

With all due respects...Hong Kong is NOT (despite the map and the name) China. Although GZ is merely a 2 hr train ride away...its media and culture could be on a different planet.
Nope...here it will continue to be a steady diet of football (soccer), badminton, snooker and table tennis.

As a FIOS TV customer it is good to know that I stand a better chance of seeing non-local hockey games in China than I do in my family room. Well done, Gary!
