KSNG, virtual and VHF digital channel 11, is an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Garden City, Kansas, United States. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group. KSNG maintains offices located on Fulton Street in southwestern Garden City, and its transmitter is located east of U.S. 83 in rural southwestern Finney County (south of Plymell).
KSNG is part of the Kansas State Network (KSN), a regional network of five stations relaying programming from Wichita NBC affiliate KSNW across central and western Kansas, as well as bordering counties in Nebraska and Oklahoma; KSNG incorporates local advertising and news inserts aimed at areas of southwest Kansas within the Wichita–Hutchinson Plus television market.
The station first signed on the air on November 5, 1958 as KGLD (standing for "Garden City, Liberal and Dodge City). Originally operating as a satellite of KCKT (channel 2, now KSNC) in Great Bend, it was founded by Central Kansas Television Co., Inc. The two stations were collectively branded as the "Tri-Circle Network". KCKT and KGLD were joined on November 28, 1959 by KOMC-TV (channel 8) in Oberlin.
