I guess it's back to TV, TV' and TV's.
I vote for taking the easy way out when making it possessive. Just forget about the abbreviation and use The Villages' amenities (or whatever it is that is belonging to TV in a particular sentence.)

And, btw, Mr. Tony, I know you think acronyms should be abolished, and now you are all hung up on pom poms or pon pons so I just want to make sure you know something that will never let you look at pom poms in quite the same way again. Did you know that POM is an acronym? It is a polar operational meteorological satellite. Hah! Double the fun, Mr. Tony.
