The domain name .tv is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Tuvalu.
Except for reserved names like com.tv, net.tv, org.tv and others, anyone can register a second level domain on TV . The domain name is popular, and thus is economically valuable, because it stands for the word television. Almost 10% of the Tuvalu Government revenue comes from royalties from the.tv address.

Information.CA dan Idealab
After Tuvalu is allocated a two-letter top-level internet domain suffix,.tv, the Tuvalu Government works with the International Telecommunications Union and establishes a process for selecting management partners for domain suffix.
On 6 August 1998, a licensing agreement was signed with Information.CA Toronto where it agreed to pay a prepayment of US $ 50 million for exclusive marketing rights to the Tuvalu domain up to 2048, with the Tuvalu Government state/delegate manager for the.tv extension became The.tv Corporation International, established in 1998. Further negotiations with Information.CA followed from a deferred payment of US $ 50 million. Idealab, a California company, became involved in 1999 and assumed a $ 50 million liability to pay for 10 years. With the first $ 1 million payment, Tuvalu was finally able to join the UN. Lou Kerner became the first employee of.tv when he joined as CEO in January 2000..vv grew to more than 100 employees, with offices in Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong, before being acquired in a nine-point transaction in December 2001.
Verisign
The.tv Company entered into an agreement with VeriSign Inc. for domain marketing. In December 2001, The.tv Corporation was sold to VeriSign in a nine-point transaction. As of December 31, 2001, The.tv Corporation International became a subsidiary of VeriSign Inc. Tuvalu sold its equity stake in The.tv Corporation to VeriSign which paid US $ 10 million. After the corporate acquisition by VeriSign, quarterly payments to the Tuvalu Government were reduced to US $ 550,000 per quarter, with payments continuing for 12 years.
On December 14, 2006, Verisign announced an alliance with Demand Media, run by former MySpace chairman Richard Rosenblatt to market a.tv (top tier) domain name as the preferred Web address for rich media content. The premium name ".TV" can not be transferred to another registrar. The annual renewal fee for the premium name. TV is equal to the initial "buy now" signup fee.
On March 16, 2010, Sedo announced that it is working with Verisign to hold an exclusive auction on April 1 for 115 premium domain names. The TT will bring in standard non-premium updates regardless of the closing auction price. On March 19, Verisign announced that the premium name.TV will now be available through an expanded.TV record channel, slashed prices on behalf of premium.TV, and made a large number of premium names searched for non-premium.TV. As a result, Verisign essentially lifts the roadblock that previously downplayed investment in the.TV extension by primary domainers, investors, and developers.
In 2012 VeriSign renewed its contract with the Tuvalu Government to manage the.TV registry until 2021. In 2014, Amazon acquired Twitch.tv for $ 1 billion, becoming the first.tv website to achieve unicorn status.

Content station
Websites with.tv domains often show video content for a specific brand or company. Publications such as The Sydney Morning Herald and Pitchfork Media run their sub-stations of online publications strictly for original video content. Marketing companies such as Vice in New York have accepted contracts to create brand-tailored content stations, such as Motherboard.tv for Dell and Project Creator for Intel have provided this type of domain more visibility, and inspired the creation of independent content stations at the college level throughout United States such as Massive.tv at Northwestern University, Maingreen.tv at Brown University, and Kuumba.tv at Washington University.
co.tv
"co.tv" is not an official hierarchy; it is a domain (co.tv) owned by a company that offers a free subdomain transfer service, such as co.nr.
The company offers a free co.tv subdomain. Due to the substantial usage by website spammers subdomain from co.tv in July 2011 Google removed the.co.tv website from its search results. This has no impact on other.tv websites.
According to Lucian Constantin at Softpedia, "CO.TV is a free domain provider that is clearly misused by the people behind this campaign.All of the rogue domains used are hosted on the same IP address."
