Give the channel its own front door
A domain can introduce your channel and direct people to the platform where they can watch. That gives you one address to print and share even when individual video links change.

.tv domain names
An address for what people watch.

Questions about .tv domains
Do I need a television station to choose .tv?
A .tv address can also describe an online video project. Domain registration is separate from any rights or permissions needed for the material you publish.
Does .tv include live streaming?
No. Arrange a streaming service separately and use the domain as its address or a route to it.
Is .tv a generic television domain?
Its origin is the country-code domain for Tuvalu. The television association is a way people read and use the letters.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
