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 St. cor.
Madison St., Mandaluyong City, while its transmitter and master control is located at Palos Verdes Subdivision, Sumulong Highway, Brgy.
However, on June 1, 2003, RMN decided to cease their operations on TV due to financial constraints and poor television ratings as well as increasing losses and debts brought about by few advertisers (e.g. Fortune Tobacco Corporation; now PMFTC), and somehow to focus only on their 2 radio networks (RMN and iFM).
[8] On December 24, 2011, The Game Channel limited its broadcast on daytime sharing with a new programming service called CHASE which takes over the evening block.
On June 28, 2013, Jack City was forced to reduce its Free TV broadcast to 18 hours a day on BEAM in compliance with the National Telecommunications Commission's guidelines.
It was later found out that the transmitter located in Palos Verdes in Antipolo, Rizal received a total damage to some of its facilities done by the said typhoon.
On November 15, 2014, the channel is carried over SkyCable, Destiny Cable and other Pay TV subscribers (per compliance with NTC's "must-carry" basis), displacing Jack City to a different cable channel assignment, which is only available for subscribers residing in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces.
[11] Within the same month, Bacolod City-based travel and lifestyle cable channel Island Living (broadcasting its programs through provincial cable operators including some affiliates of SkyCable from Visayas and Mindanao) became BEAM's new subchannel, followed by the replacement of TBN Asia with Taiwan-based Christian pay TV channel GOOD TV (which is in fact aired as a former blocktime program from Light Network (now Light TV) and as a standalone channel on Destiny Cable and Cignal).
On September 1, 2016, Filipino cultural channel Pilipinas HD (owned by the late sportscaster Chino Trinidad) was added to BEAM's subchannel lineup.
In 2021, Jesus is Shield Worldwide Ministries acquired a timeshare block on BEAM's 3rd subchannel occupied by Pilipinas HD.
The said timeshare block carried the syndicated religious program Oras ng Himala on a mid-morning and primetime evening slot basis until December 30, 2022.
BEAM TV on analog telecast made its final sign-off appearance on December 31, 2021, as the station was now fully migrated to digital broadcast only.
DWKC-DTV currently operates on UHF Channel 31 (575.143 MHz) and is multiplexed into the following subchannels: According to BEAM president Steve Macion, the station is expected to replace the 50 kW (4,050 kilowatt ERP) analog transmitter with a new, DTT-ready transmitter which is currently under transition and would be completed by the end of 2015.
[16][17] Aside from blocktimers, BEAM is now looking for local and foreign partnerships to allocate and generate content up to eight digital free TV channels.
[18] In 2016, DYCT-DTV and DXKC-DTV, BEAM's stations in Cebu and Davao, respectively, conducted DTT test transmissions on UHF channel 32.
