MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin’s version of C-SPAN is back online.
WisconsinEye had been offline since mid-December due to a funding shortfall. The Wisconsin Legislature’s Joint Committee on Legislative Organization voted 10-0 on Monday to approve $50,000 for operations costs to resume coverage of the Legislature for February.
WisconsinEye’s website is back online, including its archive of hearings, press conferences and legislative sessions. WisEye is also available to cable subscribers statewide.
Legislative leaders announced a bipartisan agreement in late January to fund the public affairs network. WisEye has a GoFundMe with a goal of raising $250,000 to cover three months of its operating budget. As of Monday morning, that campaign had raised more than $56,000.
