Go Pack Go Act of 2025
S 2711, the "Go Pack Go Act of 2025," allows subscribers in 13 specific Wisconsin counties (Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Dunn, Florence, Iron, Pierce, Polk, Sawyer, St. Croix, and Washburn) to choose between receiving local network television stations or "in-State adjacent-market" stations from neighboring counties. The bill amends the Communications Act and copyright law to require cable and satellite providers to offer this choice to eligible subscribers, with the provider fulfilling local signal obligations by providing the alternative station. It defines "covered counties" as those lacking a local broadcast station for the subscriber's network and specifies that this option does not count toward certain regulatory limits. The law primarily affects subscribers in these Wisconsin counties and the cable/satellite providers serving them.
