Jessica Rosenworcel will serve as the acting chairwoman of the FCC, filling the slot after the departure of Ajit Pai this week.
“I am honored to be designated as the Acting Chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission by President Biden,” Rosenworcel said in a statement Thursday. “I thank the president for the opportunity to lead an agency with such a vital mission and talented staff. It is a privilege to serve the American people and work on their behalf to expand the reach of communications opportunity in the digital age.”
The FCC still will be split 2-2 between the two parties until a Biden nominee is confirmed to fill a vacancy. That would leave the agency in a stalemate on issues like net neutrality, which has long been a top communications priority among Democrats.
As the senior Democrat on the commission, Rosenworcel, 49, had been a leading contender to serve as a chair.

An Internet domain ending in “.sucks”? That idea blows, says Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-w.V. Requests for the “dot-sucks” domain appear to be little more than “a predatory shakedown” — an attempt to extract money from companies worried their brands would be tarnished, the chair of the Senate Commerce Commitee wrote in a Wednesday letter to Stephen D. Crocker, chairman of the board of the Icann (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). “I believe any potential this might have to increase choice or competition is overwhelmed by the ways it will be used to unfairly defame individuals, non-profit organizations and businesses,...

The long-rumored frontrunner for the Republican-held FCC post left open when Robert McDowell departed in April is now officially the nominee. The White house said today that Michael O’Rielly, a top policy adviser with current Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn, will be recommended for confirmation. O’Rielly has worked in the Gop Whip’s Office since 2010, and he was previously Deputy Chief of Staff and Policy Director to Sen Jon Kyl. O’Rielly’s communications experience includes work in the Senate as a Policy Analyst for Banking, Technology, Transportation, Trade, and Commerce issues, as a staffer on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and as a Telecommunications Policy Analyst in the mid-1990s. Usually when there’s an opening for a Democrat and a Republican on the FCC — as there was as of the beginning of the week — the custom is to approve both nominees together.

When there’s an opening for a Democrat and a Republican on the FCC — as there is now — the custom is to approve both nominees together. But Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-w. Va) decided he’d waited long enough for his Gop colleagues to come up with a name to recommend to President Obama to replace Robert McDowell, who left in April. The committee voted today to approve Tom Wheeler, the former cable and mobile phone industry lobbyist the president chose to replace Julius Genachowski as chairman. Texas Republican Ted Cruz opposed Wheeler, fearing that he might require TV stations to disclose additional info about political advertisers — a decision that many members of Congress say that they should make, not the FCC. And Florida’s Marco Rubio said he may decide later to oppose Wheeler if he’s not satisfied that the nominee will crack down on indecent TV programming.

Movie and cable lobbyists say that they ““welcome further examination of the reasons behind societal violence” – the rationale behind the bill to be marked up at the Senate Commerce Committee today that would require the National Academy of Sciences to study the impact that violent videos and games have on kids. The bill from committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-w. Va) is a response to last year’s Sandy Hook school shootings. But the MPAA and National Cable & Telecommunications Association pointedly note that while they will be “productive partners in the conversation about culture in America,” they already try to help parents to make “appropriate family viewing and entertainment decisions.” The trade groups cite their work with TV and film ratings and public service announcements. Today’s statement seems more defensive than the National Association of Broadcasters was when it said that it “supports” the bill, in part because it might...

The effort to stop President Obama from tapping his long-time ally appears to have failed: He’s preparing to nominate Core Capital Partners Managing Director Tom Wheeler to replace Julius Genachowski as FCC chairman, The Wall Street Journal reports citing “two people familiar with the matter.” Four years ago Wheeler ran Obama’s transition effort for science, technology, space and arts agencies. He also lobbied for the cable industry from 1979 to 1984 when he was president of the National Cable Television Association, and then represented wireless phone companies as CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (Ctia). Wheeler’s status as an early favorite for the FCC job seemed to fade this month when Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller launched an effort to elevate Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel — formerly the committee’s Senior Communications Counsel. Rockefeller and 36 other senators told Obama in a letter last month that Rosenworcel “understands and respects...

The unusual, high-level campaigning to sway President Obama’s choice for a new FCC chairman just intensified with the release of a letter from an odd-bedfellow collection of advocates in support of Core Capital Partners Managing Director Tom Wheeler. “We know Tom well,” says the letter signed by 11 policy specialists including Susan Crawford, a former Obama policy adviser who recently wrote a book highly critical of Comcast, and Decker Anstrom, a former member of the Comcast board. “We have seen up close his strength of will. He will have an open mind and an intelligent take on the challenges that will confront the new Chairman.” The letter would have seemed like overkill a few weeks ago: Wheeler — who ran Obama’s transition effort for science, technology, space and arts agencies –seemed to have the inside track for the job as Julius Genachowski prepares to move on.

Flea, the group's bassist, teamed up with Radiohead's Thom Yorke to form Atoms for Peace, which recently dropped its debut record. Drummer Chad Smith, meanwhile, lined up a trip to the nation's seat of power, lobbying lawmakers in Washington D.C. for music education funding.
Smith's trip was planned by Namm, the National Association of Music Merchants, a non-profit advocacy group the drummer has partnered with for years now. In addition to speaking with a number of congress members -- Rep.

That wasn’t the precise topic of the Senate Commerce Committee hearing today. (It had the boring title: “The Cable Act at 20.”) But the question — as well as ones about whether the federal government over-regulates media — bubbled underneath the discussion of problems including higher-than-inflation annual pay TV price hikes, and contract disputes that sometimes result in blackouts of consumers’ favorite channels. Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-w Va.) says that there’s too little competition in a system where pay TV customers “are still forced to pick larger and larger packages of channels no matter how few they watch.” His view resonated with Colleen Abdoulah, a witness who chairs the American Cable Association which primarily represents small and mid-sized cable operators. She says that broadcasters make “crazy payments for sports (rights) because they can be forced onto consumers…This abuse of power should be outlawed.” Mark Cooper of the Consumers Federation...

Rupert Murdoch's problems from the News Of The World phone hacking scandal may soon cross the pond. Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller is urging U.S. officials to examine Murdoch's news gathering practices following revelations from the UK that raise "serious questions about whether the company has broken U.S. law." Rockefeller says that "appropriate agencies" should "investigate to ensure that Americans have not had their privacy violated. I am concerned that the admitted phone hacking in London by the News Corp. may have extended to 9/11 victims or other Americans. If they did, the consequences will be severe." Murdoch would be vulnerable to a charge that News Corp violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act if it's proven that the company benefitted from bribes to overseas officials. One of the charges in the phone hacking scandal is that Murdoch's reporters frequently paid police for tips and information, including celebrities' cell numbers.

With record TV ratings last season, the National Football League may be in its best shape ever. So why are the teams' owners about to lock the players out over revenue? It all comes down to greed, says Buzz Bissinger.
It appears more and more likely that the owners of the National Football League will initiate a lockout of its players at midnight this Friday as the result of a highly contentious labor dispute over a new collective-bargaining agreement.
Related story on The Daily Beast: The Education of Luke Russert
The revenue pool in the NFL now is about $9 billion. Owners take $1 billion of that amount off the top as a "credit" for expenses and are seeking roughly an additional $1.4 billion because of today's economic realities. The owners propose that the players receive the same cut of revenue as they do now, 60 percent, but it would be a significantly smaller pot.

WASHINGTON -- A senator on Tuesday accused media companies of cowardice, claiming that the TV business puts profits before the health of the nation's children, but he appears to lack the support needed for any new government constraints on content.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., attacked media companies for their choices and threatened them with legislation during a Commerce Committee hearing delving into the impact that violent television content has on children.
"To be blunt, the big media companies have placed a greater emphasis on their corporate short-term profits than on the long-term health and well-being of our children," Rockefeller said.
Rockefeller did not introduce legislation aimed at reining in content during the hearing but said he intended to write it and drop it into the hopper within the next few weeks.
"I fear that graphic violent programming has become so pervasive and has been shown to be so harmful (that) we are left with no choice but to have the government step in," he said.
Rockefeller might want to force a legislative solution, but other lawmakers on both sides of the aisle didn't want to go that far.
Pointing to the success of "The Sopranos", Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said there was an appetite for that type of programming and that an attempt to regulate it likely is doomed.
"We tried to regulate behavior before," Lautenberg said. "It was called Prohibition. It didn't work because the public appetite was not there."
Lautenberg told the committee that the nation's priorities are askew when pictures of soldiers' coffins are banned at the same time the government tries to rein in fictional violence.

Sens. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, have introduced legislation that seeks to expand indecency regulations to cable and satellite TV providers, include violent content under the same regulations as indecent content and codify the current children's television rules. "Sen. Rockefeller plans to offer his bill, in totality, or section-by-section, as amendments to the telecom bill as this goes forward," James Reid, the senator's telecommunications policy aide, told a National Assn. of Broadcasters conference. Hutchison was taking a wait-and-see position. "We're just going to wait for the markup," Hutchison spokesman Chris Paulitz said.
