PALESTINE TV selects JumpTV as exclusive Internet Distribution Partner

Ramallah, Palestine, April 4, 2006 – One month after the surprising elections that brought Hamas to power, Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC TV), a vital part of the national movement for peace and independence in Palestine, announced that it has selected JumpTV (www.JumpTV.com) as its exclusive Internet broadcast partner for the international distribution of its content.

The partnership with JumpTV comes at vital crossroads in Palestinian history, allowing
PBC TV to disseminate the quickly developing stories of the political, economic and social events under the new ruling coalition, to Palestinians all over the world.

“The paradigm shift that the recent elections have brought about in Palestine has generated an overwhelming demand for the most up-to-date news and information from our country by Palestinians living abroad,” says Mr. Bassem Abu Sumaya, Chairman of Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation. “By partnering with JumpTV, and streaming our signal live, on the Internet, Palestine TV can now communicate worldwide and provide an outlet of unfiltered content, reported by Palestinians for Palestinians.”

Some of Palestine TV’s original programming includes; “Zeyarah,” a thirty-minute program that visits a different detainee’s family each week; “Al Islam Wa Musrajadat Alhayat,” a one-hour forum where experts discuss issues facing Islam and “Kalam Masmouh,” a talk show taped in front of a live studio audience that interviews prominent Palestinian figures.

“Since Palestinians living away from home do not have access to local media, it becomes all the more difficult to stay in touch with current events. By subscribing to JumpTV, Palestinians can keep up-to-date with what is happening minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour in Palestine,” said Kaleil Isaza, president of JumpTV. “Palestine TV is a prime example of JumpTV’s continuing commitment to develop a robust Middle Eastern portfolio and to provide the best quality television content to diaspora communities around the world.”

Jump TV’s global Internet-television network streams live, high-quality international television signals via its website from stations in nearly 60 countries. Subscribers can access their favorite channels through any Internet-enabled device including home computers, laptops, Internet-enabled televisions, mobile phones and video game consoles.
