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 are the causes of its disappearance.

History

TF6 was founded in December 2000 by M6 and TF1 when they decided to bring closer their two competitor family projects channels on the cable and satellite service TPS, of which they are the two co-shareholders. This fusion led the two groups to create a common company gathering 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 head offices and to propose a richer offer.
