What is a .tv domain?
Officially, .tv is the country-code extension of Tuvalu, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to the coincidence with the abbreviation "TV", the extension has been marketed worldwide, and domain revenue has become an important source of income for the country. The registry is run by a private company under an agreement with the government of Tuvalu.
Today .tv is associated with video: streaming channels, online TV stations, video creators, shows, filmed podcasts and gaming. It is open to anyone with no link to Tuvalu and is treated in practice as a generic extension. For a video channel, a name like channel.tv is short and easy to say on air or in video descriptions.
.tv is the country code extension of Tuvalu.

Tips for choosing a .tv name
