TV6 (Télévision 6) was a French private and free national television channel dedicated to music and youth, created on March 1, 1986. Following the 1986 French legislative election, the new opposition government reallocated its slot to M6, leading to its shutdown exactly a year later on February 28, 1987, becoming the first French national television channel to permanently cease broadcasting (five years before La Cinq). M6 took over its frequencies on the following morning of 1 March 1987.
Despite its short-lived broadcast period, TV6 left its mark on the television genre with personalities such as Jean-Luc Delarue, Childéric Muller and Alain Maneval and a new tone, inventing the "free antenna" and music TV. TV6 has left a strong imprint on a whole generation.[1][2]
