WisconsinEye is a non-profit, private public affairs cable network in the state of Wisconsin. The network airs gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Wisconsin Legislature, including floor sessions of the Wisconsin State Assembly & Wisconsin State Senate, plus committee meetings. The coverage is available live both on the cable network as well as through the WisconsinEye website.
The channel is being financed by private donors including Wisconsin billionaires Ken and Diane Hendricks, who have contributed more than $1 million. The channel is partnering with Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable in order to reach over 60 percent of the state's population, and is available on the lifeline tier of both systems for those with a digital cable receiver. The channel began operations in June 2007, and although the network's signal is 480i SDTV, all programming is acquired in 1080i with all-HD cameras and equipment and presented in letterbox format, suggesting a simple transition to an HD signal should the opportunity ever happen.
