WLRN-TV is a PBS member station broadcasting on channel 17 (DTV 20) in Miami, Florida.

WLRN-TV signed on the air as WSEC-TV in 1962 as a second educational non-profit television station, licensed to the Dade County School Board, and affiliated with National Educational Television (NET).

During the early years of public television in South Florida, the Dade County School Board and the Community Television Foundation of South Florida shared time on WTHS, Channel 2. The School Board would broadcast five hours of instructional television during the day, while the CTF would broadcast two hours in the evening. This arrangement would continue with the CTF broadcasting longer hours as time went by. Eventually, the School Board and the CTF decided that this arrangement could not continue. The School Board turned the license for WTHS over to the CTF, who subsequently changed Channel 2's callsign to WPBT. The calls for WSEC were changed to WLRN-TV as well, to match the radio station.

WLRN-TV presents a variety of educational and local programming to the South Florida community. The station offices and studios are located in Miami.

In addition, WLRN operates twenty closed-circuit educational channels, for use by Miami-Dade's public schools.

The school board also owns WLRN-FM 91.3, a member of NPR.
