NCN Linden is a local television station on channel 13 in Linden, Guyana. It is owned by the National Communications Network (NCN) and also carries relays of the Guyana Learning Channel and the national NCN service. The station broadcasts on terrestrial VHF channel 13 and serves Linden in the Upper Demerara-Berbice region.

History in brief: In 2006, NCN took over channel 13 from a local station, and two NCN Linden outlets (on channels 8 and 13) resumed broadcasting in 2007 after the Richmond Hill transmitter fire. In 2012 locals pushed for control by the Green Construction Group, but that did not happen. The GNBA granted a Linden license in 2015, though NCN had relinquished control. Test transmissions for a Linden-only station, Linden Television, began in 2016 but faced delays. Linden Broadcasting Network was approved on March 1, 2019 and officially launched on October 6, 2019. In December 2019 NCN was allowed to broadcast on channel 8 through a Deed of Gift, but the agreement was not signed and ended on March 31, 2020. The station then returned to NCN and was renamed NCN Linden.
