TF6 was a French mini general-interest entertainment television channel aimed at young adult viewers. It existed between 18 December 2000 and 31 December 2014. The drop in viewership since 2009[1] and the failure of pay-TV via DTT were the causes of the channel ceasing broadcast.

History

TF6 was founded in December 2000 by M6 and TF1[2][3] when they decided to merge their two competitor family project channels on the satellite service TPS, of which they are the two co-shareholders. This merger led the two groups to create a common company integrating TF6 and SerieClub and whose two groups are shareholders with 50%. That allows the new channel to make use of series and cinema catalogues of its two owners and to propose a richer offer. On April 24, 2014, TF1 and M6 announced the final closure of TF6 due to low audiences since 2009.[4] The channel ceased broadcasting on December 31, 2014 at 11:59 p.m., using the song Love Me Again to close broadcasting. SerieClub replaced TF6 on Canalsat Caraïbes.[5]
