ROO Group (OTC Bulletin Board: RGRP) announced today that the company has
entered into an Executive Management Agreement with KIT Capital pursuant to
which it has agreed to appoint Kaleil Isaza Tuzman as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer commencing on January 9th, 2008. Mr. Isaza Tuzman will
succeed Robert Petty, who will retain the office of Vice-Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Founder.

Mr. Isaza Tuzman, 36, is currently the President and Chief Operating
Officer of JumpTV Inc. (TSX, AIM: JTV) where he is responsible for managing
the Company's day-to-day operations including global business development,
sales, marketing, network operations and product development. As previously
announced, he will be stepping down from his operating position at JumpTV on
or before January 8th, 2008, but will remain on the board of that company.

ROO also announced that four independent members of the company's board
of directors - Simon Bax, Stephen Palley, Scott Ackerman and Doug Chertok -
have resigned. The Company's Board of Directors is expected to appoint Isaza
Tuzman as a Director and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Upon Mr.
Isaza Tuzman's appointment, the Board will consist of three directors which
will include current board members Robert Petty and Robin Smyth, Executive
Director. In accordance with the terms of an Executive Management Agreement,
Isaza Tuzman will have the right to appoint up to four new independent board
members to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder
approval. Isaza Tuzman, is also investing in the Company through an
affiliated entity.

Mr. Isaza Tuzman has been brought on to rationalize the existing business
and position ROO to become the leader in IPTV infrastructure services-through
both organic growth and strategic acquisition. The company is already one of
the leading distribution platforms in the online media space and is the
premier solution for IP-based Video-on-Demand. The ROO Video Network is
watched by millions of viewers and supported by a wide-range of premium
advertisers.

"We are very pleased to welcome Kaleil as our new CEO," said Robert
Petty, Chairman of ROO. "Kaleil brings the experience and insight needed to
lead us through this next stage of growth. He has a proven record of helping
companies achieve their fullest potential and we are confident that his deep
knowledge of our sector, operational discipline and leadership skills will
enable us to generate value for our shareholders."

Mr. Isaza Tuzman stated, "ROO is at an inflection point in its
development. The massive growth in the demand for high-value, IP video
content, coupled with the need for leading edge platform provisioning puts
this company in a very enviable position. I believe that with greater
emphasis on exclusive content, TV broadcaster relationships and the best
quality distribution tools, ROO will become the leading player in the
provisioning of video over the Internet. In my view, a focused B2B strategy
is what is needed to build a profitable company in the sector. ROO's
commitment to this path - coupled with our shared vision of potential
industry consolidation - has been critical to my decision to invest in and
manage the company."

Under new management, the company plans to:

- Leverage expertise in international media to expand client and partner
      base;
    - Reduce costs and implement cost control policies company-wide,
    - Achieve profitability as quickly as possible;
    - Assess and prioritize product development initiatives;
    - Assess corporate branding;
    - Assess and execute strategic acquisitions consistent with the IPTV
      platform provisioning strategy, including the development of live-
      streaming and mobile distribution capabilities.



As part of the strategic realignment, ROO also announced today that it
has completed a recent reduction of 21% of its workforce. This decision
reflects the substantial completion of ROO's platform and automated
distribution tools, which have made the company more efficient and reduced
staffing needs.

"ROO has now entered a new phase of development," said Robert Petty,
Chairman of ROO. "We have substantially automated our operations, allowing us
to function as a leaner, more effective company."

Mr. Petty concluded, "I would like to thank our independent board members
for their contributions to our organization. As a result of their guidance,
we are now a stronger, more efficient company."

As part of the Executive Management Agreement, KIT Capital Ltd., an
entity controlled by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, has been granted the right to
purchase up to 51% of the preferred class of shares in the Company at 
US$0.38 per share. KIT Capital has the option to invest up to US$5 million
