«6ter» is a French free-to-air digital television channel owned by the M6 Group. Launched on December 12, 2012, it is the group's sixth channel and caters to a wide audience with its diverse programming.
Programming on «6ter» primarily consists of reruns of popular shows from other M6 Group channels, as well as some original programming. The channel features a mix of movies, TV series, documentaries, and entertainment shows, aiming to provide a variety of options for viewers of all ages.
«6ter» is known for its focus on family-friendly content, often broadcasting animated films and series during the daytime hours. In the evenings, the channel shifts its focus towards a more mature audience, airing popular US series, reality TV, and magazines.
The channel's target audience is primarily families and young adults seeking light entertainment and familiar programming. «6ter» competes with other French digital terrestrial channels, such as C8, W9, and NRJ 12, within the same demographic.
While not as well-known as its sister channels M6 and W9, «6ter» has steadily gained viewership since its launch. Its success can be attributed to its accessible programming, strong brand association with the M6 Group, and clear focus on providing entertaining content for a wide audience.
