WisconsinEye pauses operations

A cable channel which covers Wisconsin state government has paused operations. WisconsinEye has provided televised access to legislative floor sessions, committee hearings and press conference for more than 18 years. A two month long funding appeal came up short of the needed $1 million to continue operations for the next 12 months. WisconsinEye president and CEO Jon Henkes says conversations are ongoing with state lawmakers to find a solution to the organization’s financial challenges.
