Grams to be appointed to FCC?
source: R&R Online

Grams lost his Minnesota Senate seat to Democrat Mark Dayton, but the former radio and TV broadcaster's name is now in the Washington rumor mill as a possible FCC commissioner. He could snag the spot occupied by Democrat Susan Ness - her term expired in June, and she's been serving at the pleasure of the president ever since. Rumored to be in the running for FCC Chairman are current commissioner Michael Powell and Texas Public Utilities Chairman Pat Wood. Powell's name is also being tossed around as President-elect George W. Bush's potential pick for Secretary of Commerce, which could leave yet another Republican slot open on the FCC panel.
