Le Groupe M6 s’est patiemment construit grâce à une succession de belles histoires... L'atout majeur du Groupe M6 : la transversalité. L’innovation, l’audace et la proximité, restent les clés de sa stratégie et, en conséquence, de son succès.

Créé en 1987 autour de la chaîne M6, le Groupe Métropole Télévision est devenu avec les années un groupe multimédia puissant, offrant une large gamme de programmes, de produits et de services disponibles sur les supports les plus divers : télévision, Internet, téléphone mobile… Seconde chaîne commerciale du marché, l’offre de M6 est complétée par W9, chaîne leader de la TNT, et plus récemment 6ter, "la télévision à partager". La famille de chaînes payantes vient enrichir l’offre de programmes du Groupe, avec une large présence sur toutes les plateformes de diffusion.

Fort de ses marques et de ses contenus, le Groupe M6 a étendu progressivement ses activités, ses diversifications représentant aujourd’hui près de la moitié de son chiffre d’affaires. Prenant soin de développer la complémentarité de ses programmes, de répondre et d’anticiper les attentes de ses différents publics ainsi que leurs nouveaux modes de consommation, il apparaît de plus en plus solidement comme un éditeur de contenus résolument ancré dans les nouvelles technologies numériques.

Monday 22 September a new album is released, with the special title ‘Forgotten songs for forgotten children’.

Bands and singer songwriters like BLØF, Niels Geusebroek and Ilse de Lange & JB Meijers specifically chose a song they had never published before, others participated by offering a new edit of an existing song.

The funds raised by selling this album will be directed towards emergency response activities of the Red Cross in South Sudan, Syria and Central African Republic. These are conflict areas with an ongoing explosion of violence and loss, where specially children are among the hardest hit, are suffering a severe lack of food and are often hardly able to survive. By distributing food parcels and acute medical care where needed, the Red Cross provides help.
