Today, Robert M. McDowell was officially sworn in as a member of the Federal Communications Commission, giving the FCC a full complement of five commissioners, and giving Chairman Kevin J. Martin a majority with three Republican members.  A copy of the FCC’s News Release announcing the swearing in is available here.   McDowell’s addition returns the Commission to full strength and will enable the FCC to tackle a number of significant outstanding issues facing broadcasters, such as multiple ownership, multicast must-carry, payola, and indecency.  Previously, David D. Oxenford discussed the various outstanding broadcast issues that might be on the Commission’s hitlist.  A copy of his April 2006 Bulletin is available here.
