JumpTV Launches Live Chat Alongside All of Its Live TV Channels


A First on the Internet Alongside 24x7 Live Video Streaming


TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 24, 2007 -- JumpTV (AIM: JTV) (TSX: JTV), the
leading broadcaster of ethnic television over the internet, announced today that
it has launched a live chat feature on all of its live channels and Pay Per View
events broadcast on www.JumpTV.com. The new chat feature provides an exciting
new way for JumpTV users to share the experience of live television with viewers
from around the world.


In the near future, the live chat functionality will also be part of the
company's Applications Programming Interface (API), or "Jumper," which allows
for distribution of JumpTV's live-streaming channels to websites other than
www.JumpTV.com.


The inclusion of live chat on the JumpTV platform gives customers from around
the world who share common national or cultural roots the opportunity to connect
with each other discussing, commenting, laughing and debating, in real-time,
popular entertainment, sporting events and breaking news.


"The new chat feature, with each thread tied to an individual channel's
broadcast, allows people across the globe to connect immediately with others who
are living outside of their home country," explained Brian Adams, group head of
product development & engineering for JumpTV. "We are already seeing dynamic
usage of the live chat tool and we are confident that this feature will increase
the 'stickiness' of JumpTV and contribute to viral, word of mouth, growth in our
traffic. Plus it's fun and engaging."


JumpTV is focused on introducing additional community and interactive elements
throughout 2007. As an example, in the near future, the company intends to
launch a content-rating system and a customer re-selling program.


Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president & chief operating officer of JumpTV, noted, "In
anticipation of our free-to-consumer, ad-supported launch for much of our
content in the United States, we are introducing functionality both on our
retail website of www.JumpTV.com and, more importantly, on our Jumper API. The
Jumper supports a dramatic expansion in usage which we believe will position
JumpTV to generate commensurate advertising revenue."
