It will take an act of Congress, but Packers fans across the state could soon be able to watch every game.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) introduced the Go Pack Go Act to make sure Packers fans across the state can watch their beloved team.
Currently, 13 Wisconsin counties are assigned to an out-of-state team based on their broadcast media markets.
Burnett, Washburn, Polk, Barron, St. Croix, Dunn and Pierce counties are part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul media market. Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, Iron and Sawyer counties are in the Duluth, Minnesota, media market. Florence County is in the Marquette, Michigan, market.
The poor folks in these areas are forced to watch Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions games whenever those teams play at the same time as the Packers.
The Go Pack Go Act would require cable, satellite and other TV providers to give customers in Wisconsin access to programming within their home state.
