Give Time Warner Cable a call - We Like Open Government Here

Time Warner Cable is refusing to fund Wisconsin Eye, resulting in the loss of this service to engaged viewers from Madison to Milwaukee through Oshkosh up to Green Bay. Charter Communications has signed a long-term contract to continue providing Wisconsin Eye to viewers in their service area at a very small cost ($0.05 per subscriber VS $0.60 for Fox News and $3.65 for ESPN).

Wisconsin Eye is an amazing contribution to Wisconsin, providing quality, unedited coverage of social and political affairs throughout Wisconsin. This service is supported and utilized by representatives of both major parties, and provides a direct link between government and the public through interviews, mini-documentary work, and coverage of legislative sessions.

If you haven't checked out the great WisEye website, do so. You can even check out our local politicians.


According to WisEye:

How can you help? First, if you’re a Time Warner Cable customer, let the company know that you value WisconsinEye and want us back in your channel lineup as soon as possible. Here’s who to contact at TWC:

Second, let your elected representatives in Madison know, too, that you’re a WisEye viewer and want to see us on Time Warner Cable again. It’s important that state officials know that WisconsinEye is providing a valuable public service and has your support.
