6ter(French:[sistɛʁ]) is a French television network which is available free-to-air through digital terrestrial television, satellite and DSL, owned byGroupe M6.

The name's wordplay represents its positioning as M6's little "sister", and (via thetersuffix) as Groupe M6's third free-to-air entertainment channel (afterM6itself andW9).

History

Following the call for applications by the CSA for the launch of six new channels on theDTT,Groupe M6presented three projects of channels:6ter,M6 Boutique & Coand Hexa. On 27 March the CSA chose6terto be part of the 6 new channels to be launched on 12 December 2012 inHDTV(1080i).

In 2022, it was proposed that 6ter be sold toAltice,as part of a merger of Groupe M6 withGroupe TF1(alongside TF1-owned channelTFX), in an attempt to alleviate competition concerns. This merger was abandoned in September 2022, leaving Groupe M6 as owners of the channel.

Like its sistersM6andW9,6ter has a Swiss subfeed, which air in Swiss providers and in free-to-air on satellite.
