Broadcasting & Cable on
"Genachowski Plays FCC Waiting Game"

Broadcasting & Cable is a very biased source of information as they view themselves as advocates for broadcasting not just reporters. However they have very good sources in DC. An article dated 3/2/09 on their website reports the latest rumors on the next FCC chairman and other appointments to the Commission.

My personal guess is that no one wants to be FCC chairman until the DTV transition is finished in June. However, John Eggerton writes in B&C,

“My guess is they are trying to put together a package,” says a high-powered Washington communications player, “and they don't have it yet worked out with the Republicans and the White House and how those seats are going to be selected.”

Time will tell. The article is well worth reading if you want the latest rumors.

UPDATE 3/3/09

Broadcasting & Cable isn't always right. White House announcement of Genachowski nomination.
