History

The station originally began in 2005 as a rebroadcaster of CKQR-FM, formerly known as in Castlegar.
On August 19, 2008, Vista applied to change the authorized contours of its transmitter CHNV-FM in Nelson by increasing the average effective radiated power from 84 watts to 1,100 watts, by increasing the effective antenna height to 376 metres and by relocating the transmitter. This was approved on October 21, 2008.
At midnight on June 11, 2010 it split off from being a rebroadcaster and moved to its own programming. It was still branded as Mountain FM and continued to have a mainly active rock format, though with more emphasis on Indie music.
September 3, 2010 saw a format change to adult album alternative, and a rebranding to the current 1035 The Bridge.
On May 30, 2014, CHNV flipped to Variety Hits as "103.5 Juice FM, Nelson's Biggest Variety".
In February 2020, CHNV flipped to Contemporary Hits / Pop format and as "103.5 The Bridge, Nelson's Vibe".
