JumpTV Inc., broadcaster of ethnic television over the Internet, has signed a three-year exclusive agreement with Arab Telemedia Services (ATS) of Jordan to carry its entire library and new productions of leading Arabic-language content on a video on demand (VoD) basis.
The agreement provides JumpTV the exclusive IPTV rights to stream ATS’ television programming 24 hours after initial broadcast to viewers globally.
With a library of over 4,000 hours, ATS owns one of the largest independent collections of Arabic-language programming in the Middle East. Content will also be widely available through JumpTV’s distribution partner platforms such as Joost, MSN Arabia, Terra Networks, Maktoob and others.
“We selected JumpTV as our exclusive IPTV partner due to their unique ability to cross-promote our content with their extensive portfolio of live, Arabic channels. Most importantly, JumpTV has proven an ability to draw viewers on a frequent and recurring basis through the site and their network of official distribution partners,” said Talal A. Awamleh, chief executive officer of Arab Telemedia Services.
