Dear Neighbors,
This week, KLRN is proud to present two programs with local connections to our communities.
📅 Tuesday at 8PM
📺 BREAKING the DEADLOCK: AI: WHO'S IN CONTROL

💻 Stream FREE on-demand
The Emmy Award®-nominated GBH series BREAKING the DEADLOCK returns with a new episode, AI: WHO’S IN CONTROL? Follow the panel of leaders, including San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, as they explore AI through challenging hypothetical scenarios: the choices local communities make, privacy and policing, and its impact on our lives, with the goal of finding common ground.

📅 Thursday at 7:30PM

📺 The Edwards Aquifer Authority- Guardian of the Aquifer; Hosted by: Randy Beamer
💻 Stream FREE on-demand beginning Thursday, October 30.
The Edwards Aquifer is the most abundant and prolific artesian and karst aquifer in the world, and it is the main source of water for San Antonio and central Texas. Its existence has fueled the city’s growth and supported its people for centuries. But this precious source of water could have been easily stolen from under the feet of Texans if it wasn’t for the creation and work of the Edwards Aquifer Authority. This documentary examines the controversy that created the Authority, and how this agency continues protecting our water.
We value your viewing support!

KLRN President & CEO
