Hi

I will try for this one.

Keyword on .tv was hot for a while it seemed after jazzon.tv sold for 2k plus I believe.

I haven't watched many sales in this format. But I know couple people went crazy and bought this format.

I didn't go after this trend and I didn't follow the hype.

Now to the name.. Tennis is a huge sport and its a nice short name that makes sense for this format and .tv extension. It would need to be developed and be a video portal for tennis stars, tennis matches and etc.

Without development I would say 50 to 75 dollars on board here. Sedo could fetch higher or end user??

Bad at judging prices many times.

Good luck!

I definitely agree with you on this point. I didn't go after this trend either.

jazzon.tv is really a very specific case. Its high price was very much linked to the fact that jazz.tv is such a very expensive premium ($50,000 per year).

But what worked in this very specific case would not necessarily work in others.

Thanks for the input.

Tennis dot TV is $10000/yr premium.

Many prime keywords were already taken in this format.

True. My reply was actually about Jeff's post and a point of view about ***on.tv domains in general.

I'm not personally fond of them and I don't think anybody should go crazy about them. Many of them would probably be worthless.

I think they can only work with top premium keywords (which have indeed often very expensive renewal fees).

However, "tennis" actually falls into that "top premium" category, so I guess it could work for this very specific case too. I wouldn't expect huge returns but it could work reasonably well if you find the right buyer.

Instead of letting this one parked, I am planning to dev this into a video website with news feeds.

That's exactly what I was just thinking of telling you. That's really the kind of name that could do much better developed than undeveloped.

Can't wait see it developed. Am I wrong but was jazzon.tv sold for 7k. Been thinking on this since my post? Can't keep up with all these sales and I am mobi now.

.tv my comments were just a general thought on this format. Me personally I would have rather owned tennistv.tv vs tennison.tv. I am sure tennistv.tv is taken.

Good luck on developments!!

Actually, jazzon.tv was sold for $4,433 on Sedo.

And yes, you're right, tennistv.tv was indeed registered last year.

If I'm not mistaken, you're in India, and cricket is huge there, even bigger than here.

Are you thinking of developing it too ? Could be great.

Yep, developing CricketTV dot TV would be a great idea. Cricket is a mult-billion dollar sport in India.

Have you already checked the great .tv sites about cricket that have already been developed, like :
http://www.cricinfo.tv
http://www.cricketaustralia.tv
http://www.lancs.tv

By the way, cricket being a very popular sport in many countries, it's really nice to see all those great .tv sites about cricket made by major organizations and corporations. That can only increase .tv awareness, create new endusers and improve the reseller market.

Thanks for the list.

CricInfo.com is the most popular Cricket website in India. It seems they have jumped into the .TV wagon.

.TV rocks!

Yes indeed. You'll find out that there are more and more .com sites which have recently created companion video sites on .tv domains. That's happening to newspapers too...

cricinfo.tv is the offspring of cricinfo.com
cricketaustralia.tv is the offspring of cricket.com.au (official site of the Australian cricket board)
lancs.tv is the offspring of lccc.co.uk (Lancashire county cricket club)

Very interesting trend...

Hi Guy's ...apparently, I was the one who sold JazzOn.tv to some guy from holland late last year. Sedo was only responsible for escrow! I think TennisOn.tv may have some leverage, particularly if Tennis.tv is an annual premium and it is a very visual sport. However, like it has been pointed out on this thread, one has to be quite rational about the "On" at the end. It seems to make perfect sense in some cases rather than others I suppose. I'm staking out on SaleOn.tv and ONDiscount.tv for instance. What I am finding though, is there are some very clever ways to come up with what maybe construed as a potential hit with .TV. Whenever you guys have a chance, take a trip to your local borders book store or barnes and noble.....the gems are all there right on the "Magazine Rack"!!

For instance, I've got WomanToday.tv and FoodWine.tv which kinda makes a lot of sense for tv programming. I'm working on ThisIsTravel.tv & CannesFilms.tv to give you another perspective of where I think this whole environment is going. I really wish us all very well because we are at the very beginning of true internet convergence....all happening on a .TV near YOU!

Robert,
The sale of JazzOn.TV was an excellent one.

Many of us attracted by the sale of JazzOn.TV, and registered many ____On.TV names lately.

I agree with you. Not all keyword combinations will work with the ____On.TV concept.

I also have these

GigsOn.tv

thanks blackmurdoch, appreciate the comments. Did you get an offer on Sedo and then send it to auction???

I am in the process of finding some potential end-users at the moment, any advice on finding buyers for these domains, I find that the hardest part


thanks again

gilescoley,

I like the heads up you did with the musical collection of the ****on.tv genres! All three are winners for the future of the extension.

Yes finding endusers is definitely the most promising challenge, but the most rewarding as well so I guess it balances out!

No, but I have two:

HitsOn.tv(This one was inspired by the jazzon.tv sale)

and

MyTVon.tv


Interesting to note that rockon.tv is $500 premium. Still available? Don't know, as I have yet to purchase a premium name.

Personally, sports like tennis and golf are quite popular and tennison.tv may prove a popular channel in the grand scheme of things.

Appraisal value will rise with time and desire of endusers to grab the channel.
It is a viable name for the extension.

I like it, .tv!
