About .tv
.tv is the country-code TLD for Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation of about 11,000 people. It is one of the most economically important ccTLDs relative to the size of the country it represents: licensing revenue from .tv has historically accounted for a substantial fraction of Tuvalu's government income.
The TLD is operated commercially by Verisign under a long-term agreement with the Tuvaluan government. The agreement was renewed in 2021 with revised terms reportedly more favorable to Tuvalu than the original 1990s arrangement.
.tv is the natural choice for streaming, broadcast, and video projects. Twitch, the largest example, used to operate as twitch.tv as a primary brand domain. The connotation is so strong that .tv reads as "television" or "video" almost regardless of the registrant's actual location.
