India's Leading Independent Media Sales Company Partners with JumpTV to Expand Business in India

BOMBAY, India, July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JumpTV (www.jumptv.com) has entered into a strategic partnership with Cutting Edge Media, India's leading independent media sales company to expand JumpTV's presence in South Asia.

JumpTV will work with Cutting Edge Media to secure new broadcast agreements using Internet protocol; enter into distribution agreements for JumpTV's global TV roster with Indian cable, mobile telephony, and IPTV providers; and build on JumpTV's existing menu of South Asian television content. Currently, JumpTV has exclusive Internet-broadcast agreements with leading South-Asian stations including: Sony Entertainment Television Asia, India TV News, Punjab Today, Balle Balle from India; nTV, Channel i, RTV from Bangladesh; and TV One and HumTV from Pakistan.

Cutting Edge Media is the foremost media sales firm in India, brokering distribution, advertising and subscription deals for foreign media companies entering the Indian markets and those Indian outlets looking to grow their international audiences. It has handled such client channels as: Cartoon Network, CNN, Reality TV, The Hallmark Channel and Channel News Asia.

"South Asia is an incredibly vibrant media market. Television stations create and broadcast truly innovative programming, which is closely followed by a passionate viewer base living all over the world. By partnering with Cutting Edge Media, JumpTV will develop new relationships and deepen existing relationships with leading broadcasters from the sub-continent, serving as a platform to internationalize their content over the Internet," said JumpTV's Asia Pacific general manager, Kevin Foong. "While our Asian lineup of more than 25 channels includes highly popular South Asian broadcasters such as India's SET Asia, Pakistan's TV One and Hum TV, Jaya TV, as well as Bangladesh's leading stations nTV and Channel i, we are always looking for new ways to serve the vast Pan-Asian communities living away from their respective homelands."

Murtuza Kagalwala, chief executive officer of Cutting Edge Media, stated, "The Internet provides the ideal platform for reaching audiences scattered around the globe. Cutting Edge Media recognizes that television channels all over the world can globalize their brands and extend viewership to diaspora communities that cannot easily watch this content otherwise. The partnership with JumpTV will allow us to develop significant channel partnerships with Pan-Asian television stations, providing them with the technological platform to become part of the Internet revolution."
