History
It was started as Cinema Television (or CTV-31) in 1995. It was also the first UHF station to be inspired by a movie television. And on year 1997, it had its broadcast rights form E!, an American-cable network channel that features fashion and lifestyle show, which is lately known as E! Philippines. But in the year 2003 RMN decided to cancel its operation to TV network, citing financial constraints and poor ratings.
On July 3, 2011, UHF 31 in Davao and all RMN TV stations nationwide returned as a test broadcast, right after Globe Telecom acquired 39 percent of BEAM and Altimax Broadcasting Co., retaining RMN as its real owner. And then on it was branded as BEAM Channel 31 and The Game Channel on August 15, 2011. Recently, The Game Channel limited to its broadcast on December 24, 2011, to give way to its new sister station CHASE which it was broadcast in evening block of The Game Channel. Recently The Game Channel leased its operation on BEAM and transferred its operation to cable, while CHASE remains on this network and took its 24 hour broadcast. On September 7, 2012, when they aired 24 on CHASE, an animation signage plugged and written like this: "Another Jack TV is rising, coming soon on this channel". This was the part of Solar TV Network, Inc. plans to use this channel assignment to aired the said network. The network is planned and it was launched as the secondary Jack TV network named JACK City on October 20, 2012. Somehow it ended operations and affiliation partnership with BEAM on August 31, 2014 and was moved to cable networks. Currently BEAM Channel 31 Davao, along with other BEAM TV stations nationwide is currently affiliated with Essentials Broadcasting Network thru TBN Asia and O Shopping (an ABS-CBN-owned shopping network channel).
