JumpTV to Add Sahara Group Channels to Its Global Lineup

Premier Indian Channels Sahara One, Sahara Samay and Sahara Filmy Added Through
Strategic Partnership Agreement With GloboSat Entertainment

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 31, 2006 -- JumpTV Inc. (AIM: JTV)(TSX: JTV)
 (www.jumptv.com), the world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over
the Internet and GloboSat Entertainment LLC, a global entertainment and
broadcasting company, announced that they have signed an exclusive
Internet-broadcast agreement to offer three top Hindi channels on JumpTV's
online television platform in selected territories.

GloboSat Entertainment Networks International is a premier global entertainment
and broadcasting company with distribution rights to Sahara One TV, a Hindi
general entertainment channel; Sahara Samay, India's premier 24/7 news channel;
and Sahara Filmy, India's leading Hindi movie channel.

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief executive officer of JumpTV
International stated, "Hindi is the fifth most spoken language in the world. The
addition of these channels makes it easier for the millions of Hindi speaking
people living outside South Asia to remain connected to the television
programming they know and love from home."

Kevin Foong, general manager of JumpTV's Asia-Pacific group said, "JumpTV
remains focused on securing the global IP rights to top channels in key regions
worldwide. The potential for adding more subscribers by making Sahara
programming available online is exciting and provides the partners in this
agreement an opportunity to profit through a revenue sharing structure."

"Globosat Entertainment is delighted to announce their association with JumpTV
in launching our premier channels, Sahara One, Sahara Samay and Sahara Filmy
through the World Wide Web (Internet) in territories worldwide covered by the
contract. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship," said Mr. Adris
Chakraborty, director of Globosat Entertainment.

Sudhir Vaishnav, President and CEO, GloboSat, said, "With our state-of-the-art
production and broadcast facilities in New York and Toronto, we are able to
create local content as per market needs. Our strategic partnerships with DTH,
cable, broadband, IPTV, mobile and other platforms spanning across North and
South America, Europe and the UK help our broadcast partners to build
international presence faster."

Sahara One, Sahara Samay and Sahara Filmy will be priced individually at US$9.95
per month when launched commercially and will likely become part of a future
bundle of South Asian channels. Popular programming on these channels include:
"Rokkky Mera Naam," an energy-packed stand-up variety show; "...Harr Dil Kuch
Kehtaa Hai," a weekly drama series and "Chala Lallan Hero Ban-ne," a 4-hour
comedy film show.

The Sahara One, Sahara Samay and Sahara Filmy contracts were signed subsequent
to the Company's June 30, 2006 quarter end disclosure. JumpTV now has 230
channels under license.
