NAB recommends second term for FCC chairman

By Steve Safran 

The NAB has written a letter to Sen. Ted “Tubes” Stevens recommending a second term confirmation for FCC chairman Kevin J. Martin. Writes NAB President and CEO David Rehr: “Chairman Martin deserves all of our thanks and support for his in-depth understanding of complex issues and his ability to communicate those issues to the American people.” Yes, he’s soft on regulation. But what good is deregulation when you could lose your license because one wacko complains about a dirty word?
