WLRN-FM is the main public radio station on 91.3 in Miami, Florida, and neighboring Fort Lauderdale. Owned and operated by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, it is the area's main NPR member station, and has Miami as its city of license.
Its HD2 service is WLRN Xtra HD, "South Florida’s Alternative News and Talk Station", featuring talk programming by day and BBC World Service at night. Until December 2, 2007, HD2 carried "Classical 24", which offered classical music 24 hours per day.[1] Classical 24 has since moved to another public radio station, WKCP 89.7 FM, after that station's acquisition by Classical 24's parent, American Public Media.
The station also maintains its long-time radio reading service for the blind on an analog subcarrier.
The school board also owns WLRN-TV, a PBS member television station.
