JUMPTV SIGNS EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH TWO LEADING AFRICAN TELEVISION CHANNELS

Channels from Madagascar and Tanzania Expand JumpTV's Selection of East African Content

TORONTO, October 3, 2006 - JumpTV (AIM, TSX: JTV) (www.jumptv.com), the world's leading broadcaster of ethnic television over the Internet, announced it has signed exclusive Internet-broadcast agreements with two top East African television channels -- Channel 10 from Tanzania and TV Plus from Madagascar.

These two new partnerships characterize the continued success that JumpTV has made in executing its strategy of signing exclusive internet-broadcast agreements with partners that provide leading ethnic content targeted at diaspora communities around the world.

Kaleil Isaza, president and chief executive officer of JumpTV International stated, "Our channel partnership strategy includes expanding our footprint to new countries from whence we don't currently carry television content. With the addition of television from Madagascar, the JumpTV Network now has channels in 68 countries around the world. TV Plus and Channel 10 afford JumpTV the opportunity to provide high quality television to the approximately 1 million Malagasy and Tanzanian emigrants, particularly those living in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, and Western Europe -- areas with high broadband penetration."

Franco Tramontano, managing director of Africa Media Group Ltd. (parent company of Channel 10) said, "Our partnership with JumpTV provides us the ideal platform to efficiently reach Tanzanians living around the world giving us both the potential to significantly increase our total viewership and an opportunity to globalize our brand in a way that didn't exist prior to the advent of Internet protocol television (IPTV)."

Douglas Ames, vice president, content acquisition, JumpTV's Africa & Caribbean group commented, "These channels bolster our already unparalleled menu of East African content. With JumpTV's accessibility and affordable subscriptions, East Africans living around the world can easily stay current with news, political, sporting and entertainment events from home."

Each channel will be individually priced at US$9.95 per month when launched commercially and will likely be part of a bundle of East African channels at a later date.

TV Plus Madagascar is the #1 channel in Madagascar focusing on local news, entertainment and lifestyle programming, and also carries political debates featuring government and opposition parties.

Channel 10 Tanzania is a leading channel in Tanzania, airing local news, entertainment and a popular morning show dealing with issues which affect Tanzanians.

Channel 10 and TV Plus are contracts that were signed during the third quarter following the closing of our Initial Public Offering raising the number of JumpTV channels under license to 223.
