JumpTV to Stream FIFA World Cup Matches in Canada Through 2014

Partnership With Telelatino Includes Exclusive Internet Broadcast Rights to the
World Cup Finals and the Women's World Cup in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian
Languages

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 27, 2007 -- The 2006 FIFA World Cup
Championship was among the most watched sporting events in history and offering
these games has been the "goal" for many in the online television world for
quite some time.

Now through a unique partnership between JumpTV (TSX: JTV) (AIM: JTV), the
world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over the Internet, and
Telelatino, Canada's Latino Superstation, soccer fans throughout Canada will
have the ability to watch live all of the FIFA championship tournaments through
2014 on the Internet. Hundreds of matches which will not be available on
television in Canada are expected to be streamed live on www.JumpTV.com as part
of this relationship. This agreement is subject to the approval of FIFA.

G. Scott Paterson, chairman and chief executive officer of JumpTV, commented,
"We are delighted to be able to bring FIFA tournaments from all over the world
to Italian, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Canadians. As we have said in the
past, acquiring the IP rights to top-notch sporting events has become a major
focus for JumpTV. FIFA tournament football (soccer) is one of the few types of
international television content that crosses all national borders and has truly
mass appeal. There is no game in the world that inspires more passion than
football and no football tournament that garners more attention and viewers than
the FIFA World Cup Championships."

Pursuant to the agreement, JumpTV will have the online streaming rights to
broadcast all games (approximately 1,200) of FIFA championship tournaments from
July 2007 through 2014 with Spanish, Italian and Portuguese voice-overs,
throughout Canada. JumpTV plans to stream most of the games on a
free-to-consumer basis and expects to generate revenue through advertisements.
Telelatino will be the exclusive ad representative for 50% of the advertising
inventory available on JumpTV throughout the life of the agreement. JumpTV will
retain direct control over the sale of the other 50% of the advertising
inventory. The partnership between JumpTV and Telelatino provides for the
companies to share revenue based on certain formulas.

JumpTV expects to kick-off streaming of the FIFA tournaments with selected games
of the FIFA U-17 World Cup (U-17) in August 2007 which will be hosted in Korea.
The U-17 will closely follow the FIFA U-20 World Cup (U-20), being hosted in
Canada from June 30, 2007 through July 22, 2007. JumpTV expects to follow up
with streaming selected games of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 in September,
hosted in China.

Paterson continued, "The U-20 is expected to be the biggest soccer event in
Canadian history and will undoubtedly spark further passion for the sport while
perpetuating the desire to continue to watch all of the FIFA championships that
follow. With only a few of the U-17 and Women's World Cup games being broadcast
on traditional television in Canada, we believe this is a unique opportunity for
JumpTV to give FIFA fans throughout Canada the ability to follow these games
anywhere they have an Internet connection."

Aldo Di Felice, chief executive officer of Telelatino, said, "We have been
committed to the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese speaking communities in Canada
for 23 years through our specialty cable and satellite television network. Our
arrangement to broadcast FIFA tournament games on television in those languages
is a testament to this commitment. Now, with our exclusive relationship with
JumpTV, we can add further value to our viewers by affording them the
opportunity to watch world-class FIFA football matches online -- especially
those games that will not be carried on regular TV in Canada."

"We believe that the Canadian soccer audience is very large and underserved,"
said Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief operating officer of JumpTV. "By
bringing the FIFA tournaments to the Internet in Canada we are convinced that we
will draw lots of eyeballs and provide a tremendous opportunity for Canadian
advertisers to target soccer fans in a focused fashion."

Isaza Tuzman continued, "Now, regardless of whether you root for Brazil or
Italy, you can keep up with what is happening on the football pitch -- live --
through JumpTV. This is a boon to the millions of people living in Canada who
are either emigrants following their home country team or simply avid fans of
the 'beautiful game.'"
