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).

The station also serves as the default PBS member station for the Laredo market, which doesn't have an PBS station of its own.

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.

Digital television

The digital signal of KLRN is multiplexed:

Notable programming

Some of the notable programs produced (in the Austin studio) by KLRN over the years included "Carrascolendas" 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.

Trivia

Corpus Christi's KEDT, while always under different ownership than KLRN, carried much of KLRN's schedule the first few years of its life, after signing on in October 1972.
