An air carrier flight crew requested runway 34R after having being cleared for a visual approach to runway 35 at slc. The ATCT local controller cleared the flight crew to land on runway 34R, but later queried the crew about their lineup with runway 34R. An aircraft was in position for departure on runway 34R and was told to taxi clear after the flight crew stated that they were cleared to land on runway 34R.

Narrative:
Went to approach control. Approach asked if we had the airport. We responded with 'we have the airport.' the approach controller cleared us for a visual to runway 35. We then requested runway 34R. The controller said ask the tower. When we checked on with the tower we requested runway 34R. The tower gave us a clearance to land on runway 34R. At approximately 3000 ft AGL, tower said 'it looks like you are lined up on runway 34R.' we responded with 'yes, we were cleared to land on runway 34R.' an aircraft had pulled into position on runway 34R for takeoff. Tower had him taxi clear and we landed. Contributing factors: runway 34R and runway 35 have intersecting approach course and 2 different tower frequencys. We could not hear the clearance for the aircraft to taxi onto the runway. If we could have heard the taxi clearance, we would have responded in a timely manner and not had a conflict with the aircraft on the runway. We would of had enough time to line up and land on runway 35.

Title: AN ACR FLC REQUESTED RWY 34R AFTER HAVING BEING CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 35 AT SLC. THE ATCT LCL CTLR CLRED THE FLC TO LAND ON RWY 34R, BUT LATER QUERIED THE CREW ABOUT THEIR LINEUP WITH RWY 34R. AN ACFT WAS IN POS FOR DEP ON RWY 34R AND WAS TOLD TO TAXI CLR AFTER THE FLC STATED THAT THEY WERE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 34R.
Narrative: WENT TO APCH CTL. APCH ASKED IF WE HAD THE ARPT. WE RESPONDED WITH 'WE HAVE THE ARPT.' THE APCH CTLR CLRED US FOR A VISUAL TO RWY 35. WE THEN REQUESTED RWY 34R. THE CTLR SAID ASK THE TWR. WHEN WE CHKED ON WITH THE TWR WE REQUESTED RWY 34R. THE TWR GAVE US A CLRNC TO LAND ON RWY 34R. AT APPROX 3000 FT AGL, TWR SAID 'IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE LINED UP ON RWY 34R.' WE RESPONDED WITH 'YES, WE WERE CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 34R.' AN ACFT HAD PULLED INTO POS ON RWY 34R FOR TKOF. TWR HAD HIM TAXI CLR AND WE LANDED. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: RWY 34R AND RWY 35 HAVE INTERSECTING APCH COURSE AND 2 DIFFERENT TWR FREQS. WE COULD NOT HEAR THE CLRNC FOR THE ACFT TO TAXI ONTO THE RWY. IF WE COULD HAVE HEARD THE TAXI CLRNC, WE WOULD HAVE RESPONDED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND NOT HAD A CONFLICT WITH THE ACFT ON THE RWY. WE WOULD OF HAD ENOUGH TIME TO LINE UP AND LAND ON RWY 35.
