Kanal 35 began transmissions on 14 July 2004, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev becoming the first secretary of the
Communist Party of Azerbaijan, therefore succeeding as the ruler of
Azerbaijan SSR at the time. It initially broadcast as a privately owned television channel, but later became a part of the Ministry of Education of Nakhchivan. Along with that, a new studio building was inaugurated for the channel. The station was provided with modern broadcasting equipment and a while after launch, it has garnered a huge audience within the autonomous republic. Kanal 35 received a warning on 18 January 2008 as the station was allocating an excessive amount of its time slots for programming about animals. Kanal 35 was granted a license by the Television and Radio Council of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic in July 2008 after the council's establishment in 2007. The station used its right to obtain a license without participating in the competition and appealed for such. Kanal 35 migrated completely to
digital terrestrial television after the termination of analog television in the republic in February 2015. In 2019, four employees of Kanal 35 were awarded for their work in the television field in Nakhchivan. On 15 May 2023, Kanal 35 was transferred to and merged with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Television and Radio Broadcasting closed joint stock company. == Programming ==
