TV.show, RX.delivery and other domains are available for registration on Wednesday.
Have your eye on a two character domain name in one of Donuts’ domain names? You can start registering them on Wednesday, September 9.
Previously withheld two letter domain names, such as TV.show and NY.pizza, will debut with a seven day Dutch auction tomorrow. This is essentially the same as Early Access, which has been run for all Donuts releases and name collision names.
The following Wednesday, names will revert to regular pricing. To be sure, “regular” includes annual premiums. But most of the premiums seem reasonable.
For example, GoDaddy’s retail price for TV.show is $1,499 and RX.delivery is $799. Of course, don’t expect TV.show to make it out of Early Access unregistered.

Andrew where did you find and/or look up those 2 price examples?
Andrew Allemann says
You can get this data from your GoDaddy account rep if you have one. Keep in mind each registrar charges their own markup.
Tim says
Do you have any more information i.e. are they opening this up for all of their TLD’s or just select ones? Where can I register them?
Andrew Allemann says
You should be able to register them at any registrar that carries Donuts domains. The Early Access will be at registrars that have done Early Access with them before. My understanding is this is for all released TLDs so far, but I’ll ask them to comment.
Tim says
Admittedly I’m not a “domainer” but this stuff is very frustrating.
Looked at tv.show at godaddy and namecheap – both say unavailable for registration. No word about releasing two letter names at donuts.domains either.
Andrew Allemann says
That is frustrating. My advice would be to check back at the registrar Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully it will be working then.
Robbie says
tv.show and rx.delivery for 3 to 4 figures annual renewals is a good deal? I do not get that statement?
What is someone going to do with tv.show run pirated tv shows on there, and have it taken away by the registry? online rx is another shady industry in itself…
Andrew Allemann says
I came across this downloadable list from 101domain with pricing. If other registrars want to post links to lists with their pricing, feel free.
