Back in February I wrote about an ex Mike Berkens name 2.tv being sold by Go Daddy to Sheng Wang. The sale was reported on Ename.cn and it was said to be in the high six figure yuan range.
It looks like 4.tv which Mike Berkens purchased for $5,555 in April 2010 at the same auction as 2.tv has sold to another Chinese registrant. No sales price mentioned anywhere, but if Go Daddy sold 2.tv for high six figure Yuan then it stands to reason this was not sold on the cheap side.
7.tv appears to be on the move as well, the domain had been owned by Frank Maggio of Florida.
The whois status has updated to “ok” and the name went under privacy.

I don’t think the .TV extension makes any sense. Local news stations use the name of the station and channel. It you use tv, it is with a .com or org.

Is that a joke or are you out partying. Tv is much better than these piece of shit ngtlds.
I see dot tv everyday from pets.tv to MLB.tv. I think if someone doesn’t get tv they don’t get life.

look the top domainers aka (loudest) do not own the best single keyword .tv domains thats why you dont hear much about the greatest tld dottv. lets take golf.tv for example $600,000 sale period end of story. someone tell adam Jeff Bezos bought Twitch.Tv for $970,000,000 (UCan’tBSerious) has a point there are actual cable channels built on Pets.tv Cars.tv Comedy.tv and other .tv ext including Revolt.tv by pdiddy. these domain sherpas dont have any of the good .tvs so they try to pump and dump .cc domains imo. even Rick Schwartz said in one of his last interviews with Mike Cyger “i think .tv is a sleeping giant” that interview was deleted due to the fact that it included adam dicker. cyger should repost those old interviews even if they include dicker. they are way better than the people he has on now. Schwartz, Berkens, Howe were the real sherpas. now its the muppets show.

Golf.tv did not sell for $600k.
