JumpTV, a web TV broadcaster of international television channels, said that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Korea’s 24-hour English/Korean language channel, Arirang TV. The channel will be available at $9.95 per month when launched commercially and will likely be included in a bundle of Korean channels at a later date.
Arirang TV is one of Asia’s premier networks, reaching more than 57.5 million households in 188 countries. Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, president and chief executive officer of JumpTV International, added,”JumpTV believes this partnership will aid in subscriber acquisition from all over the world and significantly enhance our program offering from Asia.” In Europe Arrirant TV is also available as a free-to-air channel on the Astra satellite.
