JumpTV Signs Exclusive Partnerships With Two Leading African Television Channels


Channels From Madagascar and Tanzania Expand JumpTV's Selection of East African
Content


TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 02, 2006 -- JumpTV Inc. (AIM: JTV) (TSX:
JTV) (www.jumptv.com), the world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over
the Internet, announced it has signed exclusive Internet-broadcast agreements
with two top East African television channels -- Channel 10 from Tanzania and TV
Plus from Madagascar.


These two new partnerships characterize the continued success that JumpTV has
made in executing its strategy of signing exclusive internet-broadcast
agreements with partners that provide leading ethnic content targeted at
diaspora communities around the world.


Kaleil Isaza, president and chief executive officer of JumpTV International
stated, "Our channel partnership strategy includes expanding our footprint to
new countries from whence we don't currently carry television content. With the
addition of television from Madagascar, the JumpTV Network now has channels in
68 countries around the world. TV Plus and Channel 10 afford JumpTV the
opportunity to provide high quality television to the approximately 1 million
Malagasy and Tanzanian emigrants, particularly those living in the U.K., U.S.A.,
Canada, and Western Europe -- areas with high broadband penetration."


Franco Tramontano, managing director of Africa Media Group Ltd. (parent company
of Channel 10) said, "Our partnership with JumpTV provides us the ideal platform
to efficiently reach Tanzanians living around the world giving us both the
potential to significantly increase our total viewership and an opportunity to
globalize our brand in a way that didn't exist prior to the advent of Internet
protocol television (IPTV)."


Douglas Ames, vice president, content acquisition, JumpTV's Africa & Caribbean
group commented, "These channels bolster our already unparalleled menu of East
African content. With JumpTV's accessibility and affordable subscriptions, East
Africans living around the world can easily stay current with news, political,
sporting and entertainment events from home."


Each channel will be individually priced at US$9.95 per month when launched
commercially and will likely be part of a bundle of East African channels at a
later date.


TV Plus Madagascar is the #1 channel in Madagascar focusing on local news,
entertainment and lifestyle programming, and also carries political debates
featuring government and opposition parties.


Channel 10 Tanzania is a leading channel in Tanzania, airing local news,
entertainment and a popular morning show dealing with issues which affect
Tanzanians.


Channel 10 and TV Plus are contracts that were signed during the third quarter
following the closing of our Initial Public Offering raising the number of
JumpTV channels under license to 223.
