Six News

Six News (alternatively SIX News) is the franchisee for national network news from March 2009 to March 2012. Run by Aquidia Holdings Limited, it broadcasts multiple times per day from a network of locations. Legally the name of SIX News is AHL (SIX News) Limited. Aquidia chose not to renew the franchise in 2012 and the Six News licence was instead won by Six National Broadcasting, operated by Emoa Television.

Radio
The Six News Channel service is provided in an audio-only version to be broadcast as a radio channel. Segments unsuitable for radio are replaced with radio-only alternatives (usually rolling news) provided live from the AHL studios.

Currently this service only operates as a very low bitrate (32kbps) test via DAB near Aberdeen.
