	FCC's New Standards-Bearer (washingtonpost.com)
		Martin, 38, is one of the FCC's three Republican commissioners and has been considered the front-runner to head the agency, which is the government's chief regulator of the media and telecommunications industries.
		Martin and Powell sometimes clashed on issues of policy and style, with Martin most notably splitting with the agency's two other Republicans during a 2003 vote on local telephone competition because he wanted to preserve a strong role for state regulators.
		Martin often said that indecency fines proposed in the past year were too low, and he called for broadcasters to be fined for each utterance or depiction of indecent material within a program.

	Democracy Now! \| Kevin Martin Appointed FCC Chairman, Ken Ferree Named to Leading Post at Corporation for Public ...
		Kevin Martin was appointed to the FCC in 2001.
		Martin is considered an advocate of reducing government's regulation of telecommunication companies and increasing the monitoring and enforcement of so-called indecent content on the airwaves.
		Martin, I think, accurately describes in many ways a coarsening of the culture; but the real approach, in my opinion, is not to say you can’t say this, and you can’t say that, or you can’t show, you know, two gay moms on a PBS cartoon.

		Martin, a North Carolina native, is perceived as a strong supporter of local broadcasters and large TV-station groups in the conflicts with the big networks and cable operators.

		February 11, 2005 09:52 AM Martin may make political noise trying to regulate cable and satellite, but its important to remember that the air waves -i.e., over-the-air television -- are subject to regulation because they are a public resource licensed to broadcasters to serve the public good.

		Commissioner Martin voted with the majority on the rules changes even though millions of Americans - a record number of participants in a FCC proceeding, in fact - wrote the Commission in opposition to the rules changes.
		Given Martin's past statements on the newspaper-broadcast crossownership ban and the Philadelphia court's conclusion that the FCC rationally decided that the original ban should be repealed, the new chairman may make a priority of attempting to change the rule again.
