This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Miraculous makeover: using the new FCC.gov

Post by The-Hammer »

In early 2009, then Federal Communications Commission Chair Michael Copps offered a frank assessment of the agency's website, fcc.gov. "The Commission has a wealth of resources on its website," Copps observed.

The Commission must update its website to be more user-friendly."

A few months earlier, we had said the same. "Let's face it, fcc.gov still looks like it was thrown together six weeks after Netscape went public over a decade ago," our post complained. "The result: the only people who can really access it are telecom lawyers [and] public interest groups with their autoforms."
