JumpTV Expands Network With Addition of the BIG EAST Conference

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - September 06, 2007) - JumpTV Inc. (AIM: JTV) (TSX:
JTV) (www.jumptv.com), a leader in broadcasting international television and
sports over the Internet, today announced that it has entered into a partnership
with the BIG EAST Conference to design and power the conference's new
multiplatform broadband environment through its JumpTV Sports division, which
encompasses the recently acquired XOS Network. The BIG EAST platform launches
this week for fan access at www.BIGEAST.org.

"As JumpTV Sports paves the way for innovation and interactivity, we're pleased
to welcome the BIG EAST to our ever-growing network of professional and
collegiate sports sites," said Nada Usina, president, JumpTV Sports. "The BIG
EAST Conference encompasses 16 schools known for both their outstanding academic
reputations as well as their athletic prowess. The league's reputation,
diversity and strength are sure to be a catalyst for increased attention to its
new site."

Through the partnership, the JumpTV Sports broadband platform provides the BIG
EAST with an official conference Web site complete with the following exclusive
features:

-- A branded broadband video channel (www.BIGEAST.tv), which will offer
   annual, monthly and seasonal championship packages along with game-of-the-
   week football contests

-- An official photo store

-- An official mobile store including mobile alerts

-- Online auctions

"Since its formation, The BIG EAST Conference has been very creative in
developing and exploiting television and technological initiatives that generate
exposure for our member schools," stated BIG EAST Conference Commissioner
Michael Tranghese. "This innovative approach began back in 1979 as we recognized
the potential and power of cable television before anyone else, and continues
today as we partner with JumpTV to proudly re-launch our official conference Web
site, www.bigeast.org, and also venture into the world of broadband video with
the launch of a new broadband video channel that will offer our fans the
ultimate in interactivity through a seamless broadband experience. This new
broadband video channel, www.bigeast.tv, again underscores our status as a
cutting-edge leader within the collegiate sports realm."

The BIG EAST is the 12th conference within the JumpTV Sports network. JumpTV
purchased XOS Network in August 2007 to leverage the company's expertise with
interactive media, online sports advertising, consumer data-capturing (known as
the One-Fan Profile), and multiplatform broadband development and
implementation.

"This is a proud moment for our company," Usina said. "JumpTV has a strong
global presence with content partners in more than 75 countries and subscribers
in more than 100 countries worldwide. The combination of the former XOS Network
and JumpTV's strengths, through the JumpTV Sports division, will allow the BIG
EAST to have an interactive edge over other conferences outside the JumpTV
Sports network."
