Does .tv still have hope

.tv probably works best when the business is obviously media, streaming or video-related.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Yeah, we know when it works best. It probably has about as much hope as the .tv section of this forum. Go check it out, maybe bring it back to life like was 10 years ago

What if you could get like every tv genre (comedy, drama, action, scifi, etc) and media streaming keyword and sports keywords in .tv as a portfolio.. Would that have value?

This .tv analysis was done 10 months ago, but there's still some good tid-bits of information in it still valid today: https://www.namepros.com/threads/tv-tuvalu-cctld-country-code-top-level-domain.1366911/

Having sold both .TV and TV.com domains in the past, I'm still getting some offers and inquiries... but the TV/media market is currently in a huge M&A consolidation cycle where even my small network gets more multimillion $ valuations, channel placement rev-share offers from TV platforms, and 'free money' loan offers from finance firms, than offers to buy my undev'd names.

What's your insight if we build our .TVs by ourselves and turn the domains into actual TV network businesses with the valuation you mentioned?

 

[Eric Lyon]

turn the domains into actual TV network businesses

Lots of different overhead costs involved in that, depending on how you approach it. Are you meaning, using free public video feeds, the hiring of video creatives to produce unique films, using a credit or subscription ai platform, purchasing API tokens, or bringing it inhouse and having a dedicated unit for video production?

Genuinely curious about this subject...

I've only started acquiring .TVs in the last few years, no sales yet but I'm hopeful.

It's still a popular and well-known extension for YouTube channels, streaming and media companies.

Some .TV that I picked up:

Roller
Disc
Sasquatch
Throttle
Campground
Trouble
Neural
Saddle

You are very correct: Always look out for the overhead costs involved.

Limiting a network to "our .TVs" limits its success as an "actual TV network". That was the first huge mistake of the Me.TV network, back in 2007. As TV.com's outnumber .TVs by, I would guess, 500 to 1.

While the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the parts do matter, greatly... in a TV network's valuation. That said, the power of TV comes from networking, so even a weak network is stronger than a TV site / set with one channel.

My insight... TV domainers could create a network "by ourselves and turn the domains into [an] actual TV business" by simply putting a clickable video embed template on each page channel.

The overhead would be nominal... with my 'BROADCASTURL' biz model where the content comes to you, attracted, in part, by the number of screens, a unique dynamic duel of domain 'Name Fencing' to compliment the Geo-Fencing option built into the video player, and, of course services that you, I , and other domainers bring to the table... that rev shares with the site player that took the order.

In short, it expands the Network TV 'Local Affiliate Station' model to URL owners, where the local (domainer) channel can earn money by selling ads on Network programs as well as from 'local content' that just plays on their channel embeds.

Media.tv

1 ring to rule them all?

I sold almost all of my .tv domains, just own 2 now, this one and Hindustan.tv

When I bought it the idea was to launch a company like Netflix, realized that the cost of development wasn't within my reach, so pivoted to a video production unit, been doing that with some production partners for the last 10 years or so. Nothing exceptional in terms of profits, but every bit helps.

Does it have potential? Yes, in fact one of the oldest tropes people used back in 2010ish was "people get confused with .com" - given that cctlds & ntlds now have more development than .com, that is now laid to rest.

In fact I wrote this last year - https://www.mwzd.com/blog/why-tv-domains-are-a-smart-bet-in-the-video-driven-internet-era/
