KSLN-TV, UHF analog channel 34, was a commercial television station licensed to Salina, Kansas, United States, which broadcast in two separate incarnations on the same license from 1962 to 1965. The station was the ABC television affiliate in Salina throughout its existence, but operating on a UHF channel and with extremely low-power facilities for a full-service TV station, it could not compete effectively with the VHF television stations received in Salina. The station closed in 1965 and began a quest to move a VHF allocation to Salina, which ended in failure when the Federal Communications Commission ruled the proposal technically deficient in 1968.
