JumpTV begins broadcasting independent Iraqi television stations

Iraqi Channels Now Offered To Subscribers Via Bundled Package

Baghdad, Iraq, January 25, 2006 – As the eyes of the world continue to focus on the rebuilding efforts in Iraq, a truly independent media marketplace is emerging for the first time in the country’s history. Five of the independent national broadcast television stations in Iraq have announced an exclusive partnership with JumpTV (www.JumpTV.com), the world’s leading online television network.

The stations carried by JumpTV include Al Baghdadia (www.albaghdadia.com), Al Fayhaa (www.alfayhaatv.net), Alsumaria (www.alsumaria.tv) and Beladi TV, along with the previously announced AldiyarSat (www.aldiyartv.net), the only television station in the world broadcasting gavel-to-gavel coverage of the trial of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. For a monthly subscription of between $9.95 and $19.95, subscribers to JumpTV can watch any of the Iraqi stations, anytime, via any Internet-enabled device.

“Independent television channels sprung up quickly after the fall of Saddam Hussein and the Baath party, responding directly to the thirst for independent and credible sources of news and information,” said Inam Abdul Majeed, production manager, Al Fayhaa. “Not only do the people living in Iraq want timely and accurate information, but the millions of Iraqis and Arabs living outside the country crave access to Iraqi content as seen through the eyes of their countrymen. With JumpTV and a high-speed Internet connection, those citizens now have entrée to affordable, real-time TV from their home country and region.”

JumpTV’s global distribution network broadcasts live, high-quality television signals from over 100 channels from nearly 50 different countries via its website.

“JumpTV is committed to broadcasting the best television content possible and providing every expatriate around the world access to television from home via the Internet. This bundle of stations gives viewers their choice of the latest in political, cultural and entertainment programming from Iraq. We anticipate that anyone interested in Iraq will turn to JumpTV for access to unfiltered information broadcast from the source,” said Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president of JumpTV.

“There are millions of people of Middle Eastern descent living around the world who want to follow the trial of Saddam Hussein, the results of the recent elections, and other local programming from independent Iraqi channels,” said Amir Hegazi, regional director of Middle East and North Africa for JumpTV. “This is the first country-specific channel-package we are bringing to market, and we plan on rolling out many more country and regional packages in the near future.”
