WisconsinEye

On May 16th WisconsinEye will mark its fifth anniversary of bringing gavel-to-gavel, C-SPAN-style nonpartisan coverage of state government and politics to Wisconsin. At a time of major changes in our state's public life and news media, WisconsinEye has established itself as a unique and vital resource for meeting the information needs of citizens and communities. 
 Here's is a list of their achievements so far: 

  • Gavel-to-gavel, nonpartisan coverage of state government, providing the public with a verbatim record of legislative debate for the first time in the state's history—all at no cost to taxpayers. 
  • More than 300 hours of coverage of the historic political confrontation in Madison in February and March 2011, including live coverage of an unprecedented 62-hour Assembly session and mass demonstrations inside and outside of the Capitol. 
  • Transparent and thorough coverage of Gov. Walker’s 2009-11 budget repair bill and 2011-13 state budget, including end-to-end coverage of all Joint Finance Committee meetings in Madison and statewide. 
  •  Oral arguments and other public sessions of the state Supreme Court covered in their entirety. -Produced studio and field programming presenting the daily public policy discussion statewide that constitutes "Civic Wisconsin." 
  •  Hundreds of hours of coverage of candidates and campaigns during the 2008 and 2010 state election cycles. 
  •  Multimedia, multiplatform delivery on cable TV and the Web, including a permanent online archive of state government proceedings available to the public at no charge. We're now available 24/7 on Time Warner Cable digital Channel 363 in addition to Charter digital Channel 995 and BadgerNet. 
  •  Feeds to other local, national and international news organizations for their reporting on Wisconsin state government and politics.
