Multimedios Televisión → Canal 6 (Mexico) – Last year, I was asked by Mrschimpf if it was time to rename this page given the increasing prominence of the Canal 6 brand over "Multimedios Televisión". At the time, I was opposed to this change. However, common usage has swung in favor of Canal 6 in the last 15 months and I now support this change, so I am bringing it to a discussion here.

A series of events from 2016–2018 resulted in Multimedios obtaining and using the near-national rights to virtual channel number 6 at the same time as it opened some new transmitters in populous areas, including Mexico City. Increasingly, the "Canal 6" brand has been used as the primary by the company.

Recent IFT documentation mentions "Canal 6 (formerly Multimedios)": [1] (bottom of Page 1). There is insufficient documentation in English-language sources, but it is also primary in more and more news articles from the Mexican press, such as [2], [3] and [4]. [5] doesn't even mention Multimedios! I also note that Milenio, which is co-owned, has also written more promotional stories this year in a similar vein: [6] [7] [8]. The eswiki article on this topic was moved similarly in January 2020. Google Trends data indicates that queries for "Canal 6" outweigh "Multimedios Televisión" in a way that has significantly accelerated in the last 18 months.

Support Over the last few months it has become clear that Canal 6 is the main branding, while Multimedios is now reduced to the overall corporate name (mainly as a 'a service of' or 'a division of' for each banner). Multimedios remains the main branding in the United States due to other factors (it will never appear on channel 6 on any non-border cable or satellite system, for instance), but that's easily noted. It's obvious now that this network is now known more as "Canal 6" than its previous branding. Nate • (chatter) 21:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
