Make48 is releasing their sixth season on This Old House Makers Channel (Roku Channel #458) on February 22nd, 2023. It will be the first time the 2022 regional winning teams will be announced!
This Old House Makers Channel will broadcast the seven competitions in a 3.5 hour block, beginning with the first episode in Wichita at 7pm EST/6pm CST. Six more episodes will follow in this order: Milwaukee, Madison, Indianapolis, North Little Rock, Beloit, and the Kansas City, KS competitions.
If you miss the first airing, Roku will repeat these episodes every Wednesday night for four consecutive weeks.
