Sen. Tammy Baldwin introduces new act allowing all Wisconsinites access to Packer game broadcasts

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and Representative Tony Wied have introduced a new 'Go Pack Go Act' that will allow all Wisconsinites, no matter where they live in the state, access to watch Green Bay Packers game broadcasts. 

The new 'Go Pack Go Act' is for the Wisconsin residents currently living in counties that only get out-of-state market broadcasts from either Minnesota or Michigan, which means they don't have access to programming relevant to their Wisconsin communities. 

Through this act, Green Bay Packer fans in over 13 counties can now watch their favorite team play - not Minnesota Vikings or Detroit Lions games. 

“Regardless of where you live, every Wisconsinite should be able to cheer on the Green and Gold,” said Senator Baldwin in a press release. “But right now, hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites live in communities where they could get Vikings or Lions games broadcast on their TVs instead of Packers games. It’s wrong and that’s why I’m fighting to fix it so every Packers fan across our state can watch our team play.”

The counties that would benefit from this act include: 

  • Ashland
  • Bayfield
  • Douglas
  • Iron
  • Sawyer 
  • Barron
  • Burnett
  • Dunn
  • Polk 
  • Pierce
  • St. Croix
  • Washburn
  • Florence County
