PBS' longest running program, "Austin City Limits"—first broadcast from the
KLRU studios on the University of Texas at Austin campus in 1976. After 36
years, the studios moved to its new, downtown ACL Live at the Moody Theater,
where it continues to showcase great American musical talents, hosting 60-100
concerts a year in addition to free Austin City Limits TV show tapings. The Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame designated the original studios (and show) a historic rock
'n' roll site. Free tours of the original location (2054 Whitis Unit B) are
available at 10:30 a.m. on Fridays. Free tickets to tapings are distributed by
lottery, typically a week before the taping. Visit the website for a taping
schedule and ticket details. 310 W. Second St., Willie Nelson Blvd.
