Narrative:
WX was 6000 ft broken visibility 10 mi plus. Copilot was PF and captain was PNF. Approach controller said to expect short final to runway 35R and turned us onto an 8 mi base. Controller said to call runway in sight. We called runway in sight. Controller said cleared visual approach to runway 35R. After landing and exiting runway 35R at taxiway ek we discovered that we were still on approach control frequency (119.4). We attribute our error to a hurried approach, very good WX and no call from approach controller to contact tower.
