Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Lets cable and satellite customers in certain Wisconsin counties choose an in-state network station from a nearby TV market.
- If a customer chooses the in-state nearby station instead of the usual local station, the provider can treat that choice as meeting its local-station duty.
- For cable companies, the bill eases some permission rules for carrying these in-state nearby stations for covered-county customers.
- For satellite companies, the added in-state nearby stations generally don’t count against certain limits, but satellite only has to offer them when it’s technically feasible.
- Applies only to 13 named Wisconsin counties that currently may not have an in-state local network station in their TV market.
