JumpTV to Broadcast Live Egyptian Football Over the Internet

Strategic Partnership With Orascom's Arpu+ to Broadcast Egyptian Football Cup
and Egyptian National Football League Matches

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2007 -- JumpTV Inc.
(AIM: JTV) (TSX: JTV), the world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over
the Internet, announced that it has partnered with Arpu+, an Orascom Telecom
company (CASE: ORTE), to broadcast live and archived Egyptian Football
Association-sanctioned games worldwide on www.jumptv.com.

The 5-year partnership will enable subscribers to initially access more than 90
seasonal matches from the Egyptian Football League, the Egyptian Football Cup
and the Egyptian National Football Team, held under the umbrella of the Egyptian
Football Association (EFA) through the JumpTV platform, via the Company's
video-on-demand (VOD), subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD) and pay-per-view
services-with the number of matches available expected to go up each year of the
agreement. The partnership provides for worldwide access via www.JumpTV.com,
with the exception of certain Middle Eastern and Asian countries as well as
Italy.

"Over the past two years Egyptian football has made tremendous strides and is
attaining worldwide recognition; during 2006, Egypt won the African Nations Cup
for a record fifth time while Al Ahly -- the back-to-back Egyptian League and
African Champions League title holder for 2005 and 2006 -- clinched third place
in the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2006. From its side, in pursuit of diversifying
its financial resources to better support the game, EFA has for the first time
licensed its tournaments digital rights," said Yassine El Oraby, managing
director of Arpu+.

"We were keen to acquire rights for such popular content and we believe that the
collaboration between Arpu+ and JumpTV will broaden the potential online
audience for Egyptian football. We look forward to setting a global example for
Internet-based sports broadcast through this long-term relationship with
JumpTV," he added.

"This agreement represents a deepening of our relationship with telecom giant
Orascom. Recently JumpTV announced an agreement with Orascom's LINKdotNET to
carry all of JumpTV's channels across each of the company's 10 web portals --
representing viewership of more than 10 million monthly unique visitors," said
Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief executive officer of JumpTV
International. "We believe that gaining the broadcast rights to one of the most
respected football leagues in both Africa and the Middle East is a fantastic
opportunity for JumpTV and is aligned with our strategy of providing the
best-in-class content to diaspora communities."

"Throughout the term of our 5-year exclusive agreement with EFA, subscribers in
the different markets will be able to stream and download this content on their
mobile phones and over the Internet," added Moemen Ahmed, Business Development
Manager of Arpu+. "It is a service that has been long awaited by Egyptian
Football fans living abroad, scattered across the U.S., Canada, Australia and
across the globe. Now they will be able to follow the games at a touch of a
button."

"Broadcasting the Egyptian Football games strongly enhances JumpTV's portfolio
of sports content. With more than 3.5 million Egyptians living outside of the
country and a region-wide fan base for Egyptian football, we believe there is a
large market for this content," said Mark David, managing director of JumpTV
International.

Subscribers can choose to purchase a single game for US$5.95 or opt for a
monthly subscription for US$24.95, which provides access to roughly 12 to 15
games per month.
