JumpTV Signs Content Distribution Agreement With Arab Telemedia Services

Internet Television Broadcaster to Carry Over 4,000 Hours of Top-Rated Arabic TV
Series and Dramas on an Exclusive Basis Globally

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 12, 2007 -- JumpTV Inc.
(AIM: JTV) (TSX: JTV) (www.jumptv.com), the world's leading broadcaster of
ethnic television over the Internet, has signed a three-year exclusive agreement
with Arab Telemedia Services (www.arabtelemedia.net) (ATS) of Jordan to carry
its entire library and new productions of leading Arabic-language content on a
video on demand (VoD) basis.

The agreement provides JumpTV the exclusive IPTV rights to stream ATS'
television programming 24 hours after initial broadcast to viewers globally.

With a library of over 4,000 hours, ATS owns one of the largest independent
collections of Arabic-language programming in the Middle East. Key titles
include the well-known "Road to Kabul," "Scheherazade," "Hajjaj," "Abna
Al-Rasheed," "Thee Qar" and other award-winning television series. This content
will also be widely available through JumpTV on official JumpTV distribution
partner platforms such as Joost, MSN Arabia, Terra Networks, Maktoob and others.

"We selected JumpTV as our exclusive IPTV partner due to their unique ability to
cross-promote our content with their extensive portfolio of live, Arabic
channels. Most importantly, JumpTV has proven an ability to draw viewers on a
frequent and recurring basis through the www.JumpTV.com site and their network
of official distribution partners," said Talal A. Awamleh, chief executive
officer of Arab Telemedia Services.

"Video on demand is a booming category in the television industry in general and
for JumpTV in particular, and we believe that this partnership reinforces
JumpTV's leadership in bringing Arabic-language programming on a VoD basis to a
global audience," said Kaleil Isaza, president and chief operating officer of
JumpTV. "There is a proven market for short-term rentals of individual shows and
given ATS' quality of programming, we expect to see a great deal of interest in
this offering."

"There are over 250 million Arabic-speaking individuals worldwide and 30 million
living in OECD countries, where broadband adoption is widespread yet access to
Arabic content is limited. Collectively, Arabs are the largest consumers of
international cable and satellite channels in the United States after Latin
Americans, providing JumpTV with a large potential market for ATS content on
both a subscription and ad-supported basis," said Bassam Hajawi, chairman of
JumpTV's Middle East & North Africa group.

Content from the ATS library will be available via JumpTV as single programs for
a 24-hour rental, monthly packages and as complementary content in bundles with
JumpTV's 50+ live Farsi and Arabic channels.
