The Go Pack Go Act of 2025 amends federal communications and copyright law to allow cable and satellite TV subscribers in certain Wisconsin counties to choose between receiving their local network television stations or instead receiving the same network's stations from an adjacent market within Wisconsin. The bill applies specifically to 13 Wisconsin counties—Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Dunn, Florence, Iron, Pierce, Polk, Sawyer, St. Croix, and Washburn—that currently lack in-state broadcast stations affiliated with major networks. Subscribers in these "covered counties" gain the flexibility to elect which broadcast signal they prefer, and cable and satellite providers must accommodate this choice without triggering certain licensing restrictions. The legislation contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, leaving technical and operational details to the Federal Communications Commission and existing regulatory frameworks.
