Tiscali Partners With JumpTV to Bring Internet Television to Millions in the UK

Partnership to Make International TV Content Available on One of the UK's
Leading Portals

TORONTO and LONDON--(Marketwire - August 28, 2007) - Tiscali UK, the broadband
telecom and media company, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with
JumpTV (TSX: JTV) (AIM: JTV), a leader in broadcasting international television
and sports over the Internet. Tiscali will broadcast JumpTV's library of live,
international television on the Tiscali UK portal (www.tiscali.co.uk).

Through the partnership, JumpTV has deployed its proprietary video players --
called "Jumpers" -- on the Tiscali UK portal. Found within the broadband
entertainment section of the site, the television content is listed by region,
language and country.

JumpTV distributes content from popular TV channels in Pakistan, India, Jamaica,
Bangladesh, Lebanon and more than 70 other countries around the world. Tiscali
users in the UK will be able to subscribe to any of the nearly 300 individual
JumpTV television channels or packages of country/region-specific channels on a
monthly subscription basis. Subscription revenues will be shared by JumpTV and
Tiscali UK.

"At Tiscali, we understand how important video content is to our users, as the
entertainment section is one of the most popular in our extensive portal. By
partnering with JumpTV and gaining access to one of the largest libraries of
global television, we have expanded our Internet television offering. This is an
exciting venture and we are looking forward to working with JumpTV," said Alex
Hole, head of online at Tiscali UK.

Mike JB John Baptiste, head of global distribution for JumpTV, added,
"Two-thirds of the UK's population increase between 2001 and 2004 was due to
immigration. As the population continues to change, we strive to provide our
partners with the best content for their audience."

Some of the channels available through the partnership include: Al Jazeera (Pan
Arab), CVM (Jamaica), Euro D (Turkey), Hum TV (Pakistan), LBC (Lebanon), NTV
(Bangladesh), TV Chile (Chile), 2M (Morocco) and WBS (Uganda).

"This partnership with Tiscali UK fits with JumpTV's strategy of partnering with
the top ISPs around the world as a primary means to expand our customer reach,"
commented Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief operation officer of JumpTV.
"We are proud to be associated with an innovative company focused on rich media
and the Web 2.0 environment."

Isaza Tuzman continued, "Satellite and traditional cable TV providers have
proven for years that there is a strong appetite for international television in
the UK, as the country is a hub for Asians, Middle Easterners, Africans and
continental Europeans. Couple these demographics with the UK's very high
broadband penetration rate and you have JumpTV's second largest target market
after North America."
