DWKC-DTV (channel 31) is a television station in Metro Manila, Philippines, serving as the flagship of Broadcast Enterprises and Affiliated Media, Inc. Its main office is located at the 3rd floor, Globe Telecom Plaza 1, Pioneer Street corner Madison St., Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila while its transmitter and master control is located at Palos Verdes Subdivision, Sumulong Highway, Barangay Santa Cruz, Antipolo City, Rizal Province.

==History== ===As CTV-31=== On October 31, 1993, Radio Mindanao Network became the second radio-based network to launch a TV station called Cinema Television 31 (CTV-31) through its flagship station, DWKC-TV. An all-movie channel, its programming included a presentation of Filipino and Hollywood movies respectively, and programs from E!, an American cable channel. It is the first UHF station to be inspired by the format of a cable movie channel. The station once clinched a top spot for its TV ratings in all UHF stations. However, because of the broadcasting rules assigned by National Telecommunications Commission and the matter that they acquired the broadcast rights from E!, CTV-31 stopped its broadcast in September 2000, exacerbated by stiff competition from Studio 23 (now known as S+A, and later IZTV/Aliw 23), a UHF rival operated by ABS-CBN Corporation through AMCARA Broadcasting Network. .
