Channel 6 is a television network in Stilwater and Steelport.

DescriptionEdit

Channel 6 is mostly known for the network's news program, with Anchor Jack Armstrong and on-site reporter Jane Valderama. The station appears in Saint's Row, Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third.

Radio broadcasts from channel 6 will be heard frequently throughout the three games. The Protagonist's most direct involvement with the station occurs in Saint's Row 2 in the course of the Ultor Exposed DLC, in which The Protagonist and ex Ultor micro-biologist Tera Patrick try to convince the station to run a story meant to cause public outcry against the company. (This is done primarily through communication with Jane Valderama.) However, this attempt ultimately fails and the story is never run.
