DXAQ-TV, channel 43, was the flagship television station of Philippine religious television network Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI). Its studios were located at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound, Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway, Sasa, Davao City, while its transmitter was located at Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.
On 21 December 2023, the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) suspended SMNI's operations for 30 days due to alleged violations of its broadcast franchise. On 18 January 2024, the NTC issued a cease-and-desist order against SMNI for violating its 30-day suspension order as its two stations in Region VI were operational as of 27 December 2023.
