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.

[edit] Digital television
The digital signal of KLRN is multiplexed:
| Channel | Name | Programming |
|---|---|---|
| 9.1 / 8.1 | KLRN | Regular KLRN programming (channel 91 on Time Warner Digital cable) |
| 9.2 / 8.2 | KLRN-HD | PBS HD (in Primetime) and local programming for adults (channel 92 on Time Warner Digital cable) |
| 9.3 / 8.3 | KLRN Kids | Program service for school-age kids (channel 93 on Time Warner Digital cable) |
| 9.4 / 8.4 | Create | lifestyle programming that includes cooking, painting, sewing, travel and more (channel 94 on Time Warner Digital cable) |
In the evening, the broadcast service is re-configured to permit a High Definition (HDTV) service and the programming is presented as follows:
9.1 continues in standard definition, with a simulcast of the programming on KLRN Channel 9 analog
9.2 is in High Definition from 8 PM - 6 AM weekdays (7PM - 6 AM on the weekends) Some programs are in true HD, some are upconverted for broadcast during this time period.
[edit] 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.
