6ter (pronounced: [sister]) is a French television network which is available free-to-air through digital terrestrial television, satellite and DSL. It is a subsidiary of the Groupe M6; the name 6ter has been selected for the channel as M6's little "sister". It is available in France on channel 22.

History[]

Following the call of applications of the CSA for the launch of six new channels on the DTT, Groupe M6 presented three projects of channels : 6ter, M6 Boutique & Co and Hexa. On March 27, the CSA chose 6ter to be part of the 6 new channels to be launched on December 12, 2012, in HDTV (1080i).

Like its sisters M6 and W9, 6ter have a Swiss subfeed, which air in Swiss providers and in free-to-air on satellite.

Programming[]

6ter's programming is family-oriented. 6ter shows magazines, documentaries, educational programs, along with children programmes, series and movies.

Until June 2016, 6ter had a weekday children morning block named Trop Toon. Since then, a few cartoons have sometimes been broadcast, notably Tintin.
