JumpTV is set to appear on the upcoming Joost online television service.

Canadian JumpTV, which offers 270 channels of programming from 70 countries on both a free and subscription basis, has agreed to provide some shows for free on Joost.

It will initially offer Spanish-language series from Colombia, Chile and Peru, and an Arabic-language comedy, followed later by programming in Romanian, Turkish, Russian, and Bengali.

Joost was launched by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the founders of Skype and Kazaa in January as an ad-supported Internet television network. It uses the same peer-to-peer file-sharing technology that has turned the music industry upside down.

Joost’s deal with JumpTV follows a recent deal with Viacom to distribute content, such as movies from Paramount, and content from MTV.
