It’s tough out there for Green Bay Packers fans, at least in northern Wisconsin.
Residents of the more rural counties in the upper half of the state sometimes struggle to watch Packers games on TV because they’re considered part of the local television markets in Minnesota or Michigan by TV providers.
For that reason, when the Packers play at the same time as the Minnesota Vikings or Detroit Lions, some of these cheeseheads can only access these NFL North rivals on their TVs.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat representing Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate, estimates that nearly 415,000 people live in the 13 Wisconsin counties that have been assigned to an out-of-state market, per a press release.
