Super Six is an Italian commercial television network. It started broadcasting in 1988 in its initial version as a syndication network, which, in its first incarnation, lasted until 2008. It resumed broadcasting on digital terrestrial as a part-time channel, and a full-time service on streaming.
History Super Six was founded in 1988 by Gianni Ferrauto (formerly of Euro TV) and was directed by Giuliano Coacci. Its programming at launch included a news program for the youth, music shows created in collaboration with British channel-turned-production company Music Box, subtitled, original music programs, the sports program Catch the Catch, with highlights from New Japan Pro Wrestling, and anime in the Bimbo slot.
