SNN News 6 (formerly known as SNN 6, SNN Channel 6, and Six News Now; which were often used interchangeably) is a Comcast cable 24/7 news station operating in Sarasota, Florida. The station operates in conjunction with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, which owns the station, which is owned by the New York Times Company. The station reports in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties.

However, the broadcasts are only available on Comcast systems served by headends in Sarasota and Charlotte county. The station reports 24/7, and reports live during breaking news stories and community events. SNN News 6 has three daily editions of their newscasts: SNN News 6 Good Morning, SNN News 6 Daytime Edition, and SNN News 6 Evening Edition. Each edition is recorded at a certain time during the day, and is broadcast over and over again until the next edition airs.

Quite a bit of content is recorded, but they are quick to break in live with important and breaking news. SNN News 6 "is" live at 10 and 11p.m. Monday through Friday. The station occasionally broadcasts high school football games and parades in the area.

SNN dropped their previous slogan of "Around The Corner, Around The Clock" and are now using the slogan "Get More Local News 24/7". In addition, SNN changed the logo for their station and now go by SNN News 6, instead of the original SNN6.

The station was the first all digital-disk based television station by use of the Avid non-linear editing systems. SNN News 6 was one of the first news operations to have a joined print and broadcast newsroom taking the theory of media convergence to another level.

SNN News 6 has a special content use agreement with WFLA and NBC Newschannel. While they are not considered an official affiliate, this agreement helps NBC bridge the gap in terms of news coverage between the Tampa Bay and Fort Myers television markets and allows SNN News 6 to use stories from NBC News and its affiliates. This agreement replaced an earlier agreement between then SNN6, WTVT, and the now defunct CONUS Communications in 2002. This new agreement also allows for cooperation between the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and the Tampa Tribune, which also operates as multimedia news organization.
