usa.tv
April 9, 2004
I was planning on knocking off a little early today (hey it is good friday) to catch some of the second round coverage of The Masters. I knew usa networks were doing the honors thursday and friday so I figured I would check from my desk what time coverage started. Logically, you would think that USA would take advantage of the new .tv domain, and therefore usa.tv would take me straight there.
Instead I found this, a page letting me know that usa.tv was available for only 100,000 bucks...per year! And that is only if you opt for the two year package...yikes...(For those of you wondering, a .com domain is about 15 dollars a year) No wonder USA networks chose usanetworks.com instead...
By the way, coverage starts at 4pm EST...
UPDATE: Upon closer inspection, some .tv domains are prorated depending on someone's ranking of how desirable they are. For instance, business.tv, news.tv or sports.tv would cost you 1,000,000 per year a piece. It doesn't seem to be working though, as they are all still available...
