Today, it is owned and operated by South Florida PBS and the Miami-Dade County Public Schools.Based in Miami, Florida, WLRN covers a broad range of topics including News, Arts, Music, and Education. They also broadcast a series of engaging programs on food, environment, health, and politics, among others. WLRN aims to provide insightful, localized content that reflects the culture and happenings in the South Florida community.**One interesting fact**: WLRN operates four radio services besides its main TV station; these include a 24-hour classical music network, a 24-hour NPR news service, a Radio Reading Service for the visually impaired, and a Spanish-language radio service. This extensive variety of programming reflects WLRN's commitment to serving diverse community needs beyond traditional news reporting.
