Personnel Changes at FCC

Broadcasting and Cable reports that on Friday FCC announced the following personnel changes:

• Acting FCC Chairman Copps has brought in Blair Levin, former FCC chief of staff under Democratic Chairman Reed Hundt, to coordinate the development of a national broadband plan.

• Media Bureau Chief Monica Desai moved to special advisor to the general counsel. Robert Radcliffe will serve as acting chief.

• David Hunt, assistant, IG, for investigations, will become acting inspector general with the retirement of Kent Nilsson after 30 years at the FCC

• Mary Beth Richards, deputy general counsel, has also been named acting managing director.

Frankly, I can't find any of these on FCC's website, but Broadcasting & Cable has always been very well plugged in.

UPDATE: Changes now posted on FCC site.
