Channel 6

**Channel 6** is a television network in Stilwater and Steelport.

## Overview

Channel 6 produces the radio news reports through-out the series.

In *Saints Row*, Newscasts are reported by Jack Armstrong, who does not mention Channel 6. The only reference to a channel 6 in the game is an Anchor bearing the logo "6 Extreme".

In *Saints Row 2*, Jane Valderamma voices the newscasts, and explicitly mentions "Channel 6 news" at the end of each one. During *Appointed Defender*, Jane's television newscast contains a "Channel 6 Extreme news" logo, although still calls it "Channel 6 news" during the broadcast. The News6 Anchor features the same "6 Extreme" logo as in *Saints Row*.

In *Saints Row: The Third*, Jane Valderamma voices the newscasts, but does not mention Channel 6.

Playa's most direct involvement with the station occurs in *Saints Row 2* in the course of the *Ultor Exposed* DLC, in which Playa and ex-Ultor micro-biologist Tera try to convince Jane Valderamma to run a story meant to cause public outcry against the company.
