TVNZ 6 is a digital-only, commercial-free television channel operated by Television New Zealand. It is available on the Freeview and TelstraClear InHomeTV platforms.

TVNZ 6 broadcasts three distinct services:
*TVNZ Kidzone, which screens preschool programming from 6.00 to 16.00
*TVNZ Family, which screens family-based programming from 16.00 to 20.30
*TVNZ Showcase, which screens arts and drama programming between 20.30 and 24.00.

The name TVNZ 6 was chosen because it was numeric, was deemed to allow 'a broader content structure than any descriptive title', and matches the number assigned to it on the Freeview electronic programme guide.cite web |url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/1178648 |title=Freeview channels given names |accessdate=2007-07-20 |date=2007-06-12 |year=2007 |month=07 |publisher=Television New Zealand ]
