KLRN TV

KLRN is a public television station in San Antonio, Texas, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 9 as a PBS member station. It is operated by the Alamo Public Telecommunications Council (formerly the Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council). It signed on in September 1962, serving both San Antonio, and Austin, Texas, from a studio on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. By 1984, Austin would gain their own public television station in the form of KLRU (which was a KLRN satellite from 1979 through 1984), and KLRN, with its own studios in San Antonio, became fully associated with the Alamo City. Notable programming Some of the notable programs produced by KLRN over the years included Carascolendas and Villa Alegre, both 1970s children's programs about hispanic culture. KLRN also produced Austin City Limits until 1984, when KLRU split off from KLRN.
