Channel 31 is the frequency reserved for community television stations in the major Australian capital cities. The name collectively refers to all community TV stations in Australia whether they use the frequency or not, much as ABC TV is sometimes known as "Channel 2".

Each station is operated entirely independently by a not-for-profit entity. In the cases of Melbourne and Sydney, the operator of each license is a consortium.

The stations have little organisation and programming in common, and so they aren't a network (in many commonly held definitions of the term). However, some programs are broadcast on multiple stations in the group, and they do co-operate with each other in various ways.

The Antenna Awards are an annual award ceremony that recognises outstanding community television programs broadcast on the Channel 31 stations.

The Antennas have been traditionally hosted by Channel 31 Melbourne, and are held at a gala ceremony at Federation Square. They have been held since 2004.
