1986-1994
The strategy of US imports which had worked for Channels 4 and 5 did not work as well for Channel 6, due to 4 and 5 getting the more popular shows. As a result, the original Channel 6 folded in 1986, and was absorbed by pirate station NeTWork 21, forming a new, IBA-licensed entity known as NeTWork 6. At this point, NeTWork 6 emphasized independently-produced and amateur content.

1994-1999
In 1994, NeTWork 6 was bought out by a consortium of Dutch broadcasters, including RTL, SBS, and NPO.

1999-2009
The Dutch broadcasters’ version of NeTWork 6 failed to gain market share compared to Channels 4 or 5, let alone the various BBC (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and ITV (1, 2, 3, 4) channels. As a result, in 1999, the contract was sold off to Corus Entertainment UK Limited (now ArgosyMTM Networks UK Limited).

2009-2019
The MTM kitten motif was added to the logo, to emphasize its connection to the US SuperStation MTM.

2019-present
In 2019, the SiX group of Freeview digital channels (SiX, SiX/MU, and SiXrush) merged with Argosy Digital Channels (Argosy Love, Argosy Sport, Argosy Cinema), and all adopted the MTM name: MTMsix, MTMyou, MTMRush, MTMLove, MTMSport, MTMCinema. This coincided with the launch of MTMWhite and MTMBlack.
