Dive summary:
- Democratic FCC chairman Julius Genachowski is set to announce today his departure from the organization.
- This news comes just two days after Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell declared he was leaving the agency as well.
- It has been rumored since he was appointed by President Obama in 2009, that Genachowski would only serve one term as a FCC chairman.
From the article:
"The exit of McDowell, followed quickly by Genachowski, will leave the agency with three commissioners, but make it easier for President Obama to get Senate confirmation for both a Democrat and a Republican nominee."
