Go Pack Go Act of 2023

This bill (S 2857) creates a new option for subscribers in specific Wisconsin counties (Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Dunn, Florence, Iron, Pierce, Polk, Sawyer, St. Croix, and Washburn) to choose which network station signals they receive from cable or satellite providers. It allows subscribers to elect to receive either their local network station signal or an "in-State adjacent-market" station signal (from a station in Wisconsin but outside their local market) instead of the standard local signal. The bill modifies copyright and carriage rules so these chosen signals do not count toward licensing limits for providers, ensuring the option doesn’t disrupt existing regulatory requirements. This directly affects subscribers in those 13 Wisconsin counties who can now select alternative network station signals.
