From Network Six Wiki
The
APFS Network was the predecessor to
6-Net and
Network Six, and was the UK-wide network of channel 6 licences between 2003 and November 2005. It operated under a similar set of regulations to that of the present Network Six, however there were many differences. Unlike Network Six, the APFS Network originally consisted of just fifteen regional channel 6 licences with the main differences being only two franchises in Scotland, plus Wales and West shared a single licence, however the licence numbers increased as new methods of broadcasting were introduced and weekday/weekend shares were devised. Since its creation in 2003, only three of the original licence holders are still running, being the Midlands broadcaster, Spectrum, the South of England broadcaster, TeleSouth and the London Weekend broadcaster, EWT, albeit under new management.

Below is the organisation of the franchises in the APFS Network at various points throughout its broadcast era, however companies regulary changed and therefore it is impossible to produce an overall set of companies for the whole of the APFS era.
