MIAMI ? In an effort to educate people about important civil liberties issues that are making headlines in South Florida, the ACLU of Florida is producing a weekly television show on WLRN dubbed Freedom's Watchdog.
The live call-in show airs from 3 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays on WLRN's Community Channel 36. The studio is located at the Cable-TAP studios, 172 NE 15th St. The show repeats at 7 p.m. Thursdays and 6 p.m. Sundays on Channel 36, which can be seen on the following cable systems in Miami-Dade: 24 Adelphia North Dade; 55 Moffat Communications; 31 ATT Aventura, Kendall and North; 12 Bell South; 15 ATT West, and 24 ATT Miami, Opa-Locka.
Every week, the live public affairs show tackles issues such as gay adoption, police misconduct, racial profiling and immigration.
During the show, viewers are invited to call (305) 995-2111 to comment on the issue, debate with guests or ask questions.
The ACLU's educational series is airing under the auspices of the Miami-Dade County Cable Television Access Project (Cable-TAP), a joint venture of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County government, and WLRN. Together they operate the largest cable system in the country, interconnecting to almost 500,000 households in Miami-Dade County.
