Senator Tammy Baldwin Proposes Bill to Enhance Game Accessibility for Fans
Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) is set to introduce the 'For The Fans Act,' a bill aimed at making nationally-televised games involving state teams available for free throughout the state. This legislation seeks to expand the current broadcasting model, which allows local markets to access games via free, over-the-air network affiliates. The bill would require consistent free access through broadcasting or streaming services, addressing frustrations from fans who face high costs to watch games on platforms like Amazon Prime. The bill also proposes removing local blackouts on out-of-market services when games are available only on streaming platforms.
