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. Programming remained mostly the same, but some English-dubbed Dutch imports were added to the schedule.

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 (Regions, 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). Corus revamped the network entirely, making it a group of commonly-owned but local/regional stations, similar to France's FR3; modelled on the CityVision model used by some of Corus’ independent stations in the US (mainly these on higher UHF channels that did not adopt the MTM SuperStation branding package).

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, SiXyou, 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. In 2022, MTMchoice and MTMknowledge were launched.
