AN6

Association of Network Six Broadcasters Ltd (AN6) is the representative body of the 18 regional and three national franchisees of Network Six. Its sole purpose is to create the national schedules, national recognition of the Network Six brand and ensuring the removal of regional/company bias in the central playout of the main Network Six channel. In addition, it also gives the individual franchisees a medium of communication between each other, and ensures the smooth running of relationships between constituent franchisees. It is the legal licence holder for the Network Schedule licence.

The duty of the body is overseen by the Director of Television position, however AN6 has no power over Network affairs itself. Communication is mediated generally via forums and videoconference sessions.

AN6 was created immediately following the abolition of the Sixth Channel Authority. Unlike the Authority, AN6 holds no legislative power, posesses no elected members and is owned jointly by all of the Network Six franchises.
