One of the Chattanooga TN television stations had a bit of fun regging the .tv extension for one of their competitors:

Note that the article incorrectly refers to the domain as wrcb.tv.com, but it was actually wrcb.tv

Thanks for sharing this news, fun to read. In reality, this is happening to every business not just TV station. I've seen this in banks, products mastercard, etc.

Nah. They just regged wrcb.tv and forwarded it to their own web page (newschannel9.com). Sat there for a couple of years before anybody noticed. So much for the value of .tv domains....
