Kevin Martin Named New FCC Chairman
A new era at the FCC is dawning (alongside the new era in Communications) with the announcement by the President today that Kevin Martin will become the new Chairman of the FCC.
Chairman Martin will not exactly be a wild card to our industry.
As a Commissioner for several years, he has demonstrated a keen intellect and savvy political instincts and skills. I’m looking forward to working with him to advance the cause of IP-based communications and to enable IP-based entrepreneurs and innovators to continue to transform the ways in which people communicate. My experience has been that Mr. Martin has an uncanny ability to put all the pieces together and to bring parties to common ground for mutual benefit. While being Chairman requires a different skill set than being a Commissioner, I’m confident that, Kevin Martin will prove to be a savvy, politically astute Chairman with the ability to hammer out difference and find common ground.

how to censore the songs?

Dear Mr. Martin,
I hope this email reaches you. This is the very first of many contacts I am sending in hopes to censore-opps bad word-public radio. I cannot tell you how absolutely appalled I am with all the rap music that is freely played on the public radio. I went for a long run today and I thought that all the pop rap music today is noting but unseen implied pronograhpy. I do not know if you have listened to the local public radio geared toward the age group of 8-18 year olds is, but it really is explicit. TV and movies are rated due to sexual content, why is the radio not restricted to its implied sexual inuendos? I have so many examples of how my girls ages 8-12 are reacting to these songs, but do not have the space and am sure you do not have the time. I do promise you I come from a financially successful family and do intend to begin actions on the FCC in regards to regulating what trash is played on public radio. Believe me, we have a case. The first amendment does not hold when it comes to the language and implied actions that are taking place on todays radio.
Please respond with any comments. I am taking this further, Corinne Hackbart
