JumpTV on Joost — Coming Soon

According to AP, a deal to be announced Friday with global video carrier JumpTV will bring international television channels to Joost, the still-in-development Internet TV platform from the influential creators of Skype and Kazaa.

Joost has been signing several contracts to carry video for media publishers, most notably a pact reached last week in which Viacom Inc. agreed to let Joost show content from such properties as MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount and Comedy Central. But what is striking about the JumpTV deal is that Jump already has its own online network for transmitting video. Jump buys the rights to shows from TV networks in 70 countries and broadcasts the video online supported by ads and subscriptions.
