MEDIA ALERT



Demand Media and eNom to Release Premium .TV Domain Names

Nearly 53,000 Premium Names to be Brought Back to Market May 1


SANTA MONICA, CA AND BELLEVUE, WA, April 30, 2007 — Demand Media, Inc., the next-generation web media company, and its wholly owned subsidiary and largest wholesale registrar, eNom ®, announced today that premium .TV domain names will be made available tomorrow, May1st, at 1:00pm PT. Interested parties can go to www.domainsindemand.tv to register the nearly 53,000 names that have been off the market for close to five months.

In December of last year, Demand Media announced a strategic alliance with VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), to leverage Demand Media’s new media platform, industry relationships and web 2.0 expertise to increase .TV registrations. Demand Media is bringing the names to market in conjunction with the release of its proprietary tools to create video-centric websites with social networking with every .TV registration, free of charge.

showbiz.tv is a premium at 50K......I'm finally worth something.

Makes me feel better about showbizchannel.tv

Cheers... what an evening!

One I had my eye on (ct.tv) went up from 900 to 3,000, think I need more wine

 

[BuzzGuyz]

bah, did that just happen in the last few moments the increase on you in the url?

 

[namewaiter]

i know this has been covered before, but how do they get off charging existing enom customers $49.95/.yr when the main page pricing at enom.tv shows $24.95 --- a nice kick in the pants for being a current customer.

its turning out to be ridiculous.
bordering on scam (from the misleading IMO ads)...

Sorry guys, just got an email from Richard R. apologizing, a minor mistake in their press release : it isn't 1st May 2007 but 2008

 

[MrRhee]

Congratulations!

IMO.TV is a premium domain name that has not yet been registered, but it will not be available for purchase until Spring 2007. We have taken thousands of premium names off the market for a short time to ensure equal opportunity for everyone interested in registering this premium name. By using a .tv Web address, both companies and individuals can offer online viewers a simple and easily recognizable gateway to finding rich media content.
