Brisbane's first community television channel was formed by Wes Tatters, Ric Adams, Simon Bunker, Ben Morrisson and Cait Spreadborough.

The station began broadcasting a two-week test transmission in 1992 during the opening of South Bank Parklands, under the name Briz TV.

Along with live footage from the opening of South Bank, member-produced formats included a variety show On the Bed with Simon and Karen where guests were invited to a studio in their pyjamas and be interviewed by the hosts.

In September 2014, Australian federal communications minister Malcolm Turnbull announced that licensing for community television stations would end in December 2015.

[10] Leading up to the various deadlines, 31 Digital, like other community television stations, moved operations online, and streamed its channel live on their website which allows access to viewers outside of its traditional broadcast area.

On 31 July 2024, marking the 30th anniversary of when Briz 31 went to air, Brisbane YouTuber "IBIS Channel 32" released a documentary about the TV station.
