SixAmerica

SixAmerica is the working title for a planned digital service offering Network Six programmes to the United States and Canada. TotalAccess will test the service from January to March 2009, and if successful, will carry a 24 hour service for distribution in North America.

Initially, SixAmerica will air for ten hours every day, from 6am to 4pm local time, before handing over to Access.2, a digital entertainment channel. All 155 AccessONE network affiliates in the US and Canada offer Access.2 on their secondary multicast channel. (For example, if a viewer in Dallas watches AccessONE on 35.1, Access.2 and SixAmerica air on 35.2)

Programming for the test service will be mostly comprised of programmes selected by Network Six during the June and October 2008 scheduling rounds. A handful of other series will be picked to fill out the schedule, including TotalAccess' own library of UK-produced titles.

During the test, viewers will be randomly selected via phone, email invitation, or other means, to take surveys related to the channel's popularity. By March, a decision will be made whether to give SixAmerica its own channel, thereby laying the groundwork for future Six International channels to debut worldwide.
