FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski sits down with C-SPAN later this week to tape an interview for the network's "Communicators" series, with the segment airing on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. EST. The taping is planned for 3 p.m. Friday at the commission in the main meeting room. C-SPAN is expected to ask about several controversial regulatory matters, including the creation of a national broadband plan to be presented to Congress in February, Genachowski's push to toughen network neutrality rules governing the Internet's openness and the level of his commitment to running a transparent agency. As they discussed the logistics of the interview Wednesday, an FCC spokesman urged a C-SPAN producer not to ask about planned changes to the agency's media ownership rules, insisting that Genachowski is still formulating his positions. Our suggestion to C-SPAN: ask about it anyway. Stay tuned!
