The sixth season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series on the NBC network in the United States, began airing on January 12, 2012. 30 Rock was renewed for a sixth season by NBC on November 15, 2010.[1] The season began airing mid-season to accommodate Tina Fey's pregnancy.[2] On November 14, 2011, NBC announced that 30 Rock would return at the new time of 8:00 pm.[3]
This season was initially expected to be Alec Baldwin's last, as he had announced he would be looking to expand into other forms of media.[4] However, in January 2012, Baldwin confirmed that he would remain for the seventh and final season of 30 Rock.[5] Season six received positive reviews and 13 Emmy Award nominations.
