Welcome to Friends of Austin City Limits
KLRU is preparing for its 39th season of Austin City Limits, America's longest running live music performance program on television and recipient of the rare Institutional Peabody Award for excellence and outstanding achievement. Each taping season generally runs from February to November and features 18-20 live performances before an intimate crowd. All performances of Austin City Limits air on PBS stations nationwide beginning in October through February of the following year.
KLRU provides access to these live performances and other exclusive invitations, through the Friends of Austin City Limits program as a thank you for your annual membership donation to KLRU. Since the production of Austin City Limits moved to its new state-of-the-art home at The Moody Theater in downtown Austin in 2011, KLRU has been able to increase the size of the Friends of ACL program, allowing more fans in to experience Austin City Limits than ever before. The larger Friends of ACL program has in part, helped sustain public television in Central Texas and KLRU's many local productions, including our now national production of Austin City Limits.
