The name, logo (to 2022) and graphics were borrowed from the Swedish channel of the same name, but their content differs somewhat as TV6 Sweden has a more male skew and doesn't carry fashion or music programming.
TV6 Latvia also broadcasts sports content: currently it is the official broadcaster of the UEFA European Championship, matches of the Latvia national football basketball teams and hockey teams, UEFA European competitions (e.g., the UEFA Champions League etc.) in 2019 moved to sport channel. Previously, the channel also broadcast matches of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships before the rights passed on the rivals LTV7 in 2017.[2]
TV6, as with other channels of the All Media Baltics group in the Baltic states, switched to HD broadcasting on 26 July 2018.[3]
On 26 August 2022, after 15 years using Viasat era logo, finally changed logo. It was a natural step to change the visual identity of the channel, thus concluding the change of all brands within the "TV3 Group" media group.[4] The logo change occurred during the program Farm (Lauku Sēta).[5]
