Austin City Limits Backdrop Auction

At 10:00 a.m. Monday, July 12th Austin PBS, KLRU-TV will be auctioning panels from the historic Studio 6A Backdrop. The historic Studio 6A and its iconic backdrop was home to 36 years of Austin City Limits concerts, hosting musical greats like Willie Nelson and the Foo Fighters. Austin City Limits is the longest-running music series in television history and remains the only TV series to ever be awarded the National Medal of Arts.
