MarketingVOX: Newly launched web TV site Joost now carries select programming from “ethnic” internet media company JumpTV, reports Reuters.
The deal between the two companies will make Spanish-language programming from Colombia, Chile and Peru available on Joost, as well as an Arabic-language comedy. Series from Romania, Russia and elsewhere are expected to soon join them.
This is the second of what’s expected to be many content deals announced in the near future by Joost, launched by the founders of Skype and Kazaa.
Viacom said it would put video from its TV and movie networks and studios on Joost after it demanded they be pulled from video-sharing site YouTube.
