KSLM-LD (channel 27) is a low-power television station licensed to Dallas, Oregon, United States, serving the Willamette Valley, within the Portland, Oregon, television market. The station is owned by Northwest Television, LLC. KSLM-LD's transmitter is located in the Eagle Crest area in the West Salem hills in Polk County.
History
The station began operation in September 2008, as a digital translator for KWVT-LP. In April 2009, KSLM signed an affiliation agreement with Retro TV. The KWVT programming remains available as a digital subchannel.
The change in channel was prompted by interference from another station operating on channel 16, KORS-CA. At the time KSLM began operation, KORS was licensed on channel 36. KORS was subsequently granted a construction permit to operate on channel 16 from a tower in Portland.
