JumpTV has scheduled its special meeting of shareholders to approve the Company's planned merger with NeuLion, as first announced on June 9, 2008, to occur on October 17, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. JumpTV intends to mail to shareholders the notice of meeting and management information circular prepared in connection with the merger on September 26, 2008, and will file the document on SEDAR and post it on its website at www.jumptv.com concurrently, in connection with the company's receipt of conditional approval of the information circular from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

• the resolutions in connection with the merger set out in the information circular;
• the private placement with AvantaLion LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Charles Wang, and with Mr. G. Scott Paterson, as set out in the information circular. Pursuant to the private placement, AvantaLion LLC has irrevocably committed to subscribe for 10 million units from JumpTV's treasury at a price of $1.00 per unit, and G. Scott Paterson has also committed to buy 1 million units on the same terms. Each unit is comprised of 1 common share of JumpTV common stock, one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $1.25 and one-half of one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $1.50, all warrants being exercisable for two years following issuance. The aggregate gross proceeds from the units will be CDN$11 million;
