JumpTV Signs Partnership With Sri Lanka Television Channel


Derana to Join JumpTV's Internet Television Line-Up


TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 22, 2006 -- JumpTV (AIM: JTV) (TSX: JTV)
(www.jumptv.com), the world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over the
Internet, announced that it has signed an exclusive Internet-broadcast agreement
with Derana, a popular television channel from Sri Lanka.


"This partnership represents another leap forward for JumpTV and further
demonstrates our commitment to being the best at providing our subscribers with
programming that is compelling and timely, on a platform that is affordable and
most of all, easy to use," said Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief
executive officer of JumpTV International.


Vinod Kumar, director of JumpTV's Asia-Pacific group said, "The company is very
excited about our partnership with Derana as it provides JumpTV with a means to
offer relevant and differentiated content to Sri Lankans living abroad who
otherwise face limited options for keeping up with entertainment and events in
their homeland."


Derana is the first channel from Sri Lanka to join JumpTV's global Internet
Television line-up, and marks the first step in the Company's efforts to
establish a foothold in the country. According to government sources the Sri
Lankan diaspora in Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
countries is approximately 1 million people, with concentration in the U.K.,
Canada, U.S. and Australia.


The channel will be available at a price of US$9.95 per month when launched
commercially and will likely be offered as part of a bundle along with other
South Asian channels at a later date.


Derana (www.derana.lk) focuses on creating and broadcasting content that is both
educational and entertaining. The channel offers news, entertainment, talk
shows, movies and children's programming. Some of Derana's popular programming
includes: groundbreaking children's programs "Street Magic" and "Nodanoth
Daruwan Ekayen Wetuna;" as well as the game show "Ammai Mamai."


The Derana contract was signed subsequent to the Company's June 30, 2006 quarter
end disclosure. JumpTV now has 217 channels under license.
