FCC’s McDowell Among 'Most Valuable Policymakers'

The Sports Fan Coalition, which has asked the Federal Communications Commission to scrap its sports blackout rule as outmoded and fan-unfriendly, is honoring six legislators and one FCC commissioner for "standing up for fans."

The recipients of the MVP awards for 2012 are Commissioner Robert McDowell, Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Reps. Joe Barton (R-TX), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Brian Higgins (D-NY).
