Yes, it's indeed a network of sites that is owned and developed by the Lin Television Corporation.

I agree with Cosmicray. It's definitely an impressive network of excellent .tv sites.

I strongly believe that the success of a TLD is directly related to the amount of great sites that are developed for this extension and that are used by average people.

So it's wonderful news to see many big companies, many ambitious people and many successful businesses investing heavily into .tv and building great projects around .tv domains. :tu:

What is interesting to me.

If you look at the tv stations they own. All the Mynetwork stations use .TV - these would be the new stations launched recently with that network.

All the old guard stations use .COM.

Which brings up a point, what will it take for TV network operators to stop using an existing brand in exchange for a new, hipper .TV brand.

They obviously like the extension. What will it take for them to convert 100% to .TV.

It's obvious indeed that right now it's mostly new tv channels, new media companies, Internet-only channels, etc. which are using .tv domains.

Old guard stations and big networks have already marketed themselves around .com for a long time like other big corporations, so we can guess that it would take much more to get them to move to .tv

BUT IT'S ALREADY STARTING !

If you read the thread "Big TV networks are enthusiastic about .tv", you'll notice that more and more of these big TV networks, those old guard stations are actually already moving to .tv

Maybe it's not always the main URL of the TV network, but we can already see lots of those regional affiliated channels, lots of specific tv shows, lots of particular departments/services of these networks (ABC News One in the US, Channel 4 International in the UK, etc) that are moving from .com to .tv

Don't underestimate this move ! You won't see any other TLD in the world today which is making companies move from .com to them. It's something unique to .tv and it's great news for this extension !
